A Night With Orion

by @paulmilne

Skirmish: my nights with ___ (@fairplay)

Liner Notes

Late again, again I saw the skirmish in its dying minutes, but again better late than never...

Dedicated to my partner's granddaughter who this year has discovered stargazing with a passion.

Lyrics

"Look" she says "there's our friend Orion As she points up to the sky She's little, she can't stay up too late But every night in Winter, Orion has a date

Polaris and the Plough and Jupiter Sirius and Gemini And our friend Orion Looking down at my little friend and I

We don't need a telescope We can see all there is to see But it would be good to have a telescope To see that distant galaxy

"Now Venus" she says "Is easy Because she shines so very bright" Following the sun down before bedtime Venus doesn't make her stay up too late

Polaris and the Plough and Jupiter Sirius and Gemini And our friend Orion Looking down at my little friend and I

Some very sweet lyrics and a nice chord progression.

...thank you for the ping, it's great you could come back to this with a melody and a very nice presentation! - I enjoyed the melody and your performance...

…what a great idea: meeting with friends but only in wintertime as the night does not came late then - hope you manage to wrap the lyrics in a nice melody - well done…

Celestial name dropping at its finest! Seriously, this is a wonderful take on the prompt. I love how the story evolves and the magical feel that it evokes. Lovely lyric!
