Long Way To Earth... Part 15 / Cold Moon ...


 

The very same night, the night of the Cold Moon, the last full moon of the year, Bromford, the bard, and his animal companion KussKuss, the llama, left the High Castle of Bromford in the town of Bromford, a friendly town by a bay and seaside, to go and see Dora of Wye, a mighty and magnificent witch and sorceress in her barrel by the banks of the River Why near the City of Earth.

'Do you know the whereabouts of this City of Earth?' asked the llama the bard. 'And do you know how to get there?'

'The City of Earth lies on the River Why', said Bromford, the bard. 'It is the capital and most magnificent city of the kingdom. I know it very well from my travelling storyteller's days. It lies over the High Mountains and we should be able to reach it within a three days march I assume.'

'How appropriate, fitting and most convenient that the High Castle of Bromford not only lies in a friendly town by a bay and a seaside but is also located in the High Mountains at the same time', the llama said with a rolling in its eyes.

'And near the River Why, too', Bromford, the bard, smirked.

Today is Sunday, the 15th of December 2024

"Bromford Blues"

Well, I see hands and attesting faces
Reachin′ up but not quite touching the promised land
Well, I taste tears and a whole lot of precious years wasted
Saying "Lord please give us a helping hand"

(Love, love, love)
Lord, there's got to be some changes
(Love, love, love)
Gonna be a whole lot of re-arranges
(Love, love, love)
You better hope love is the answer
(Love, love, love)
Yeah, it better come before the summer

Well, everybody can hear the sound of freedom′s beating heart
Sirens flashing with Bromford and rocking stone, and
You better love me like it's gonna be the last time
And tell the child to bury daddy's old clothes

(Love, love, love)
Yeah, they′re talking about getting together, yeah
(Love, love, love)
Together for love, love, love
(Love, love, love)
You better hope love is the answer, baby
(Love, love, love) I think you better hope it comes before the summer

(Everybody) everybody
(Everybody) every sister
(Everybody) every mother
(Everybody) to feel the light
(Everybody) it′s shining bright, baby
(Everybody) everybody
(Everybody) we got to live together, oh
(Everybody) whoo, ride on, baby

Feel those Bromford blues coming at your baby

Don't let your imagination take you by surprise
A queen up in the aisle, one day, visualise
My head in the cloud, my feet on the pavement
Don′t get too stoned, please remember you're a man


(Love, love, love)
Lord, there′s got to be some changes
(Love, love, love)
Living together's gonna be a lot of re-arranges
(Love, love, love)
You better be ready, Lord, Lord, Lord
(Love, love, love)
Just hope love comes before the summer

(Everybody) everybody
(Everybody) we got to feel alive
(Everybody)we got to feel alive, baby
(Everybody) everybody
(Everybody) we got to live together
(Everybody) living together
(Everybody) bud on together, oh
(Everybody) whoo

All standing together for the Bromford blues coming at you, baby
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)
Feel those Bromford blues coming at you
We gotta be above all together
Yeah, yeah




Cold Moon

Yes, I′m being followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my plow, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hands
Oh, if, I won't have to work no more

And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colours all run dry
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
Oh, if, I won′t have to cry no more

Yes, I'm being followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan, and I won′t beg
Oh, if I ever lose my legs
Oh, if, I won′t have to walk no more

And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth, north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
Oh, if, I won't have to talk

Did it take long to find me?
I ask the faithful light
Oh, did it take long to find me?
And, are you gonna stay the night?

I′m being followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow

Moonshadow, moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
