Emily Stewart - Call of the Loon

from Round 31, Week 5 by Monday Morning 3AM Music Club

/

about

Note: I'm exploring tarot related themes in this round, and this tune works through one of the vertical lines of the Major Arcana: The High Priestess, The Hermit, and The Tower

lyrics

Inside his head
The mystery grew
She had raven hair
And eyes like moons
As each word
Escaped her lips
Her tone was soft
Her insight fierce

What say you, dear
Beneath the indigo sky?
Won’t you dance
With me tonight?
What say you here
By the light of the moon?
Did I imagine it all?
Was it the call of the loon?

His days are spent
In solitude
Spectacles, and
Winklepicker shoes
He contemplates
The meaning of
Life and art
But rarely love

What say you, dear
Beneath the indigo sky?
Won’t you dance
With me tonight?
What say you here
By the light of the moon?
Did I imagine it all?
Was it the call of the loon?

As he spoke
She pulled the rug
From beneath him
With just one tug
With dashed hopes
Came freedom from
The fear that leaves
Heartstrings unstrummed

What say you, dear
Beneath the indigo sky?
Won’t you dance
With me tonight?
What say you here
By the light of the moon?
Did I imagine it all?
Was it the call of the loon?
