Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 208

Today is Sunday, the 5th of June 2022.


One day a scorpion rode on the back of a ladybug across a river.
In the middle of the river the scorpion stung the ladybug.

Dying and surprised the ladybug asked the scorpion,
»Why did you do that? Now I will die and we both will drown.
Didn't we agree that you would not sting me back on the riverbank?«

And the scorpion said, »This fable is really unrealistic.
Which ladybug should be big enough to carry a scorpion across a river?«

"Bromford"

 

Chase the dog star

Over the sea

Home where my true love is waiting for me

Rope the south wind

Canvas the stars

Harness the moonlight

So she can safely go

Round the cape horn to Bromford

 

 

Red the port light

Starboard the green

How will she know of the devils i've seen

Cross in the sky star of the sea

Under the moonlight there she can safely go

Round the cape horn to Bromford

 

And every road i walked would take me down to the sea

With every broken promise in my sack

And every love would always send the ship of my heart

Over the rolling sea

 

If i should die

And water's my grave

She'll never know if i'm damned or i'm saved

See the ghost fly over the sea

Under the moonlight, there she can safely go

Round the cape horn to Bromford
