Mrs Wickam's Driveway by will riding published on 2023-02-20T20:07:16Z A song about a meteorite which made landfall in Gloucester in Feb 2021. By moonlight you came in a cloak made of stars You sashayed with Jupiter, flirted with Mars Announced your arrival with footprints of fire From out of the void you set yourself down In the wintry indifference of a cold market town Where people lay sleeping or huddled inside No one to greet you, no one to meet you No one to crack you a smile A sorrowful end to an odyssey Over the years and the miles On Mrs Wickham's driveway, By Mrs Wickham's car At journey's end you settled down to rest On a tarmac bed you lay your head Naked and alone Silent stranger, hobo from the stars They came in their vans, they took you away Because that's how things are When you're fleeing from darkness And guided by the stars On a tarmac bed you laid your head You'd travelled oh so far To Mrs Wickham's Driveway Copyright 2022 Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Claudia Mortimer MoonshineClaude Singer Songwriter I like the guitar in this one. But what's it about, moths, aliens, a hobo? 2024-03-20T14:06:56Z
