Description

This is a walking song, composed while walking on the Marlborough Downs a while back. It may or may not illustrate a post-apocalyptic hunt for companionship, or perhaps just be about finding a soul mate.

Bio

Lyrics

Round and around

From Salisbury, into Winchester
Then turn around, back to Marlborough
Or Newbury, or maybe we could, go
Over the downs, to Wantage and then Oxford

Me chasing you, you chasing me, going
Round and around, round and around
It has to be, but we, don’t know what for
They’re just names not places, no-one lives there any more

Me chasing you, you chasing me, going
Round and around, round and around
Round and around, round and around
Round and around, round and around

It’s a long-long road, that leads to the dawn
Along we go, catch me up and find me gone
On my way, to another day
Chasing the sun, chased by the sun,

I’m just a player out looking for my play
Can’t seem to find her, I don’t care much either way
I would invite her and, maybe she’d stay
Lay down beside her, so that could be my play

Me chasing you, you chasing me, going
Round and around, round and around
Round and around, round and around
Round and around, round and around
