about

This is a song inspired by a walk on a beautiful, moonlit night, early in lockdown when there was nobody around.
It features @Daveinksterguitar on acoustic guitar.

lyrics

Pretty car hasn’t moved in weeks
Finance not viable to keep
Safe indoors all the people sleep
Deep inside you troubles heap

Beautiful moon in the sky tonight
Blackbirds sing, the bats are out in flight
The whole thing’s wrong but that bit’s right
There’s not another single soul in sight

And I know it’s not right
And I know it’s not right

I catch your eye and I hold your hand
In the bay a lonely heron stands
What will happen to our beautiful land?
Do those in power really understand?

For all the answers we all search
What’s right for us is surely wrong for earth
Through all this strife you know there is a plus
This beautiful sunset seems just for us

And I know it’s not right
And I know it’s not right
And I know it’s not right
And I know it’s not right
