A story about wanting to get into one of the most famous tourist attractions in Ireland, Newgrange, for the Solstice
|
The Newgrange Blues
The list is closed to Newgrange for at least the next ten years
Shall I ever see the Solstice light on ancient walls appear?
Ten years is such a long, long time to wait for anything
O please, can’t someone sneak me into Newgrange?
I long to see that age old mound, great roof covered in green
Ponder what the diamond spirals on the Threshold mean
How I wish just once to see that blinding slit of light
O dear, can’t someone get me into Newgrange?
Run along the chamber roof and halfway up the wall
Shines one moment brilliant then climax met, withdraws
Ten years sure is a long, long time to wait for anything
Can you pull some strings to get me into Newgrange?
The waiting list for Newgrange more or less is history
Can’t even sign up now to beat the rush
A decade is forever when you wait for anything
O please can’t someone sneak me into Newgrange
