about

2013. Originally on Patchwork 2015 but this duet with Katie is from Some of Mine 2017.

lyrics

I am the tiny moon Miranda,
Making my way around the sky;
Long ago there came a voyager,
A voyager from earth passing by.
Said I to the little earthling stranger:
‘Why not stay a while?
It’s cold and lonely here
And since you are so near
And tomorrow is so many million miles’.

‘I have come on scientific business
From my home so many years away;
Of planets and moons I am a witness,
Never at one to ever stay.
The people of my planet send their blessings,
Their songs, their dreams, their fears;
My trajectory is set,
My work not over yet,
And tomorrow is so many million years.

So farewell, tiny moon Miranda,
But before I vanish into space
I’ll be beaming back some pictures
To earth, of your lovely face’.

I am the tiny moon Miranda,
Making my way around the sky;
Long ago there came a voyager,
A voyager from earth passing by.

about

Dave Atkinson Chester, UK

I have been writing songs since 1967 when I was 17 and since I have accumulated over 440. Early influences were Dylan, Cohen, Jackson Browne Joni Mitchell, Kristofferson. Though never 'successful' in any conventional sense, my songs and guitar have led many sing-rounds and a couple of 1970's albums sell for £100s as 'rare vinyl'. Above all, it has been a happy adventure. www.atkinsongs.co.uk ... more
