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

…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!
