WARRANDYTE MORNING ~ Mark Leehy (PARADIDDLE)

Dragonfly morning in the summer heat
You bring no warning anytime you feel,
And we’ll drift through the air with a tumbling motion
And we’ll sift through the sands of an endless ocean.

Warrandyte morning in the summer haze
If you catch me yawning, wake me up today,
And we’ll drift through the air with a tumbling motion
And we’ll sift through the sands of an endless ocean.

    I’ve had the days of dreaming, but today they’ve all gone home
    I’ve never really had to ramble, but I feel I’m coming home.

Dragonfly morning in the summer haze
You bring the dawning of my summer days,
And we’ll drift through the air with a tumbling motion
And we’ll sift through the sands of an endless ocean.

      I’m coming home
      But I’ve felt times when I was far beyond my mind…….

In a Warrandyte morning in the summer haze
If you catch me yawning, wake me up today.

Warrandyte is an old town in a beautiful area about 25kms NE of Melbourne’s CBD . Dunno if it is now possibly a little suburban?? - but the pics still show it as lovely! (if a little bushfire-prone…..)

Mark Leehy was a member of Paradiddle folk band from 1978 and he and some other members are part of Bushfire Press. Plus, I believe Mark is still connected with Music in Schools programs and bush dances.


Cheers, R-J
(this song was a great favourite of my late partner, Paul Lawler)…….
