Ferry Nights
Skirmish: Fairy Nights (@ajna1960)Liner Notes
#acousticrock #fairynight #skirmish For the skirmish, I couldn’t imagine what “fairy nights” were, so here is the other “ferry.” Borrowing a few Electric Light Orchestra tropes worked well the last time I did, so I tried it again.
Lyrics
The light in the doorway And the light in your hair Is the last thing I see And it doesn’t seem fair Love and money Can’t sit together But who would I be Without one or the other
Ferry nights Three hour crossing Ferry nights But I come here often Sleeping alone And for half of a night When I could be with you No it never feels right Ferry nights
Sometimes I wonder Could I stay in one place But then I remember The smile on your face Love and money Can’t make a deal But try and tell that To the way that I feel
Ferry nights Three hour crossing Ferry nights But I come here often Sleeping alone And for half of a night When I could be with you No it never feels right Ferry nights
Ferry nights Sleep while you can Ferry nights Till you’re back on dry land Ferry nights Three hour crossing Ferry nights But I come here often Ferry nights Sleep while you can Ferry nights Till you’re back on dry land

I have made more ferry crossings from Wales to Ireland than I can remember. I love them, but then I love boats. I can imagine there are circumstances where it could be difficult and depressing. This is really well written, esp for a skirmish.
Way to bend the prompt to suit your purposes! Nice work. Love the chorus -- I can definitely hear the ELO influence!
Cute. Liking it. Might have to find out more about ELO
Oh wow, what a neat way to interpret the prompt! This song paints such a vivid picture of long journeys and being in between things - between two places, between love and money. Bittersweet and really well put together.
