Eerie Silence From Within
Our iconic English Bandstand
built in nineteen thirty four
at last has come alive again
tonight she opened up her door
Yearning for so long to hear
sweet music to begin
for it has been more than a year
just eerie silence from within
but for tonight ~ ‘tis her first night
we patiently await
so full of expectations
we are taking to our seats
Tonight our local Silver Band
took us upon a journey
sitting back we closed our eyes
to ruminate
anticipate
much happier days
as their music plays
The finale fast approaches
1812 begins to play
our spirits soar
still wanting more
on this a very special day
The climax takes us way up high
when suddenly sparkling fireworks fly
my soul 'tis flying with them
way over the dark blue sea
to the ochre coloured moon above
natures spotlight sends Luna love
On this a perfect summer night
the world
the universe
all is feeling so right…
