Do you know what you're looking for?
Streets of gold, fame and fortune?
You didn't fancy working in a factory
But your mum and dad didn't agree

You slept on Waterloo station at first
But now you've moved to a posher squat
You wonder where your next meal will come from
Still it's better than living at home

You're looking tired 'cause it's been three weeks
Since you changed your clothes or washed your feet
But you're learning fast all the time
How to cadge cigarettes and pills

I don't condemn what you done
I know what it is to be young
You're only searching for today
To see the answers about yesterday
And I hope you find


»In the third night after we left the harbour of Quantico a Flower Moon rose from the sea in the East«, Rilliam Wiker continues. »I am sure it was the biggest and brightest I have ever seen.

»Haven't seen a bigger one since Antioch«, Tummy adds. »And there were two of them, one in the dark sky and another one mirrored in the quiet, black ocean. «

»Soon there were three of them«, Wiker picks up the story. »Good winds had carried us far from Quantico until this moment. When the moon arose the WaveEater stood perfectly still. The captain brought out the Amber Heart of the Sea and freed it from the leather bag. He held it out towards the moon with his arm outstretched. And the piece of jewellery began to shine like I have never seen anything shine before. «

»Just as bright as the full-moon. «

Wiker nods, »Almost as bright as the moon itself. And within all this pale and yet bright light a fog rolled in. And the ship began to move again, although there was no wind at all and the sails hung down just like now. «

»A lull. «

Wiker is nodding again. »Yes, a lull. But the WaveEater was moving forward, slowly, but deeper into the thickening fog. And all of a sudden the moon was behind the ship, not in front of it any longer. And that's how we entered the Kollobita´´rtainnen Sea. «

Mr. Tumbleweed, the faun, is staring at the first mate with an unreadable grin on his face. »You left your world and entered mine«, he says. »I wish you could have brought me with you then. «

»The next day we were surrounded by these strange blue-green waters and scattered little islands full of the strangest and sweetest fruits and full of fountains of freshwater. And the sun shone on the biggest and greenest islands of them all, the island we now know as the continent and realm of Greenlion. «

Today is Saturday, the 16th of December 2023.

    And I almost spoiled it in the title again...
    Bromford is every city and every city is Bromford.
