Another Rosewheel - free single, never on CD

by Louisa John-Krol

/

about

From a cassette by my old duo Fionvarra, circa 1991
with a co-composer of that time, Andrew Persi
Low-fi, prior to the internet, never released on CD, it was later transferred from tape to digital WAV file for archival preservation by Jack Setton.
This is its first airing on the web.

lyrics

Blue rose windows of light and story
I touched you, and felt the dancing forms
Moving away, far over crystal fountains of another rosewheel,
Another rosewheel

Blue rose windows of stars and castles
I touched you, and felt the surging seas
Till we can sail out over coral mountains of another rosewheel,
Another rosewheel

And when you take our dancer days
And fairy nights
When moons are just gossamer
Of music box ballerinas
You'll find somewhere for everyone
In the middle of a rose
In the riddle of a window of blue

Blue rose windows, I've heard you calling
I listened, and felt my spirit soar,
Rose wheel windows of light and story, ah...!

Rose windows, I'm reaching through you
To the ancient seas of my future dawn
Till the morning sun must feel so familiar,
It's just another rosewheel!
Just another rosewheel ...

But if you take our dancer days
And fairy nights
When moons are just gossamer
Of music box gypsy* ballerinas
You'll find somewhere for everyone
In the middle of a rose
In the riddle of a window of blue

*At the time of this recording, the word 'gypsy' did not carry any derogatory connotation, at least in a generic ethereal sense. Here it expresses a free spirit, rejoicing in rare moments of restful bliss.
