A Hymn- a Tittle a Toot

I walked deep into the wilderness In hopes to get my find I was looking for some solitude And a little peace of mind Then I came across a silhouette Of an owl in the moon Right then and there I knew that I Would find my peace real soon I took out my harmonica And I played it through the night I played some chords that echoed loud Until they sounded right Then I danced around in circles To a hymn called "Tittle a Toot" And I played that hymn all night long Till I heard that owl hoot The night was getting late And I was felling bold Mist had made its way around And I was getting cold So, I walked around the wilderness To try to warm my bones Then I built myself a firepit And warmed my hands around the stones 5:00am had crept up fast I was still having fun The chilly morn had heated up When I saw the rising sun Then I looked into that silhouette And that owl in disguise Then I started playing my harmonica again When I saw it blink its eyes Then I danced around in circles To that hymn called "Tittle a Toot" And I played it loud all morning long Till I heard that owl hoot

'Tittle a toot, tittle a toot', sounds that you got what you wanted , peace of mind together with the owl and your harmonica for company. Good, plain and nourishing for your soul. hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Charlie, what charming lyrics you have created! I love story songs and I can hear someone like a Harry Chapin having a blast with this! I loved reading it! Happy Friday!!
