Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 451 & Part 452

 

Today is Saturday, the 30th of May 2026.

Socrates said, 'Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.', said Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl.

Why?, asked the seven wolves.

Shush!, shushed the six unicorns. Or you will wake the dragons.

"Bromford"

Illumed for promise
Due as bound
Commonly in circles I ache as ignite
Time's by essence
Heat by flint
Would I yearn for tenderness
A light within

Here I fought for you
A pall as cast and through
Though danger said I'd be reborn
We live and ride alone

As the river rolls
As the river rolls
Lord have mercy on my soul

A screen but captures you
In thrall yet ghost's remove
With languor said I'd be reborn
We live and ride alone

As the river rolls
As thе river rolls
As the river rolls
As thе river rolls
Lord help me from my soul
As the river rolls
As the river rolls
Lord help me save my soul

You dare not follow
You dare not follow
You dare not follow
As the river rolls
As the river rolls

"Sweet Home Bromford"

Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Well, do you remember when the steel mill shut down
We had to go in the country, mama, 'cause you couldn't live in town
Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Well, do you remember baby back in 1934
You had the nerve to tell your daddy
That you didn't want him no more
Ride on - baby, don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford
