I
am captured by many types of music. But then sometimes a piece comes along
which talks directly to your soul. A piece so seemingly effortless in its
construction; a piece which talks about a small moment in a car where you catch
a glimpse of your beau in the Autumn sunshine.
You
are this person my darling. This is a Sunday Song. As the wind howls around me
today and the rain spatters the windows, I find myself looking westward. This
song is so filled with you; it epitomizes where I see the simple things with
you. Sunday papers, mussels and good craic. In a car, talking as we do at a hundred to the dozen. The feel
of fresh air on our faces, then the warmth of a car as it is buffeted by the Atlantic
elements. A real fire with my Love.
Thank
you Van Morrison for the Ulster brogue and the music. Thank you missimos for the
pictures.
Coney
Island
Coming
down from Downpatrick
Stopping
off at St. John's Point
Out
all day birdwatching
And
the craic was good
Stopped
off at Strangford Lough
Early
in the morning
Drove
through Shrigley taking pictures
And
on to Killyleagh
Stopped
off for Sunday papers at the Lecale District,
Just
before Coney Island.
On
and on, over the hill to Ardglass
In
the jam jar, autumn sunshine, magnificent
And
all shining through.
Stop
off at Ardglass for a couple of jars of
Mussels
and some potted herrings in case
We
get famished before dinner.
On
and on, over the hill and the craic is good
Heading
towards Coney Island.
I
look at the side of your face as the sunlight comes
Streaming
through the window in the autumn sunshine
And
all the time going to Coney Island I'm thinking,
Wouldn't
it be great if it was like this all the time.
"Coney Island" as written by Van Morrison
