Midnight Wings
Written and composed by Deborah Stokol, 2003. Performed by Deborah Stokol, 2007.
Lyrics:
When the cow jumped over the silver moon
and the silver spoon
and a great big boon
of comments for the man
with his tair tied up, in a burlap sack
or a farmer’s hat
When knights come riding
on silver mares
and they shoot you red hot ugly glares
for daring to don your midnight wings
in the middle of the afternoon
(Chorus)
I don’t know what I am going to do
there
I’m lost
When the little girl
with the little curl
decided to be their friend
And Winken and Blinken and Nod
one night
sailed away to meet their end
When the big fat bear
in the silver chair
ate Goldie in her tiny bed
And the Cheshire cat
with a small like that
fell on her like a block of lead
(Chorus)
