London Is Coming Soon - original acoustic
Sunday, February 24th, 2008
A song written several years ago using the words of a poem by my brother, Paul, who is an environmental author, poet and journalist(www.paulkingsnorth.net). I′m quite pleased with it, especially the train-travel-like rhythm of it. Let me know what you think.
Riding the tides of Buckinghamshire
Where the last of the beeches blow
Surfing the surfeits of housing estates
Where speedwell used to grow
Something in the fields in May
Will not be there in June
The train puffs and plunders through cuckolds of green
London is coming soon
