Name: A Song for Red
Duration: P00H05M50S
Description: This track began as a song in a stage play, 'Red". It would have been performed by the folk theatre company, but the play unfortunately never materialised. Here, the narcissistic wolf man begins the song in the third person, then switches to talking about himself as the one who Red is trying to find, thus putting himself in a prominent place in her life.

lyrics

She likes wandering in the forest to her grandma’s home
How she loves this sleepy forest, even though alone
Oh, she won’t be lonely one day
She will find a new friend one day

They say wolves and spirit creatures hide among the trees
They say wolves are just like leeches but that’s just a tease
Oh, she may just glimpse him one day
Ask him all her questions one day

Take care, he’s a big bad wolf; who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?

She likes moonbeams, snowflakes, roses, rainbows, jam and cream
She thinks when she stands in mushrooms she will find her dream
She thinks he is lonely all day
That’s why she has to find me one day

Take care, he’s a big bad wolf; who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?

So she wonders what I look like; how I spend my time
Do I stand in morning sunbeams; that pleasure is mine
Oh, I am so lonely all days; I will be her new friend one day

I’ve the kindest heart, a mind that’s big and smart
All the better to love her with
I’m warm like the sun, the moon and I are one
All the better to hug her with
I’ve the biggest smile, I do it all in style
All the better to worship her with
I’m the best she’ll find, a treasure warm and kind
All the better to kiss her with

about

Patrick Jasper Lee Wales, UK

I am something of an activist with my music & literature. As an indigenous Rom Gypsy my cultural and artistic work explores the highs and lows of life/soul. I champion tribal origins, and the underdog in our modern times. I am tired of what this society tends to throw at us, especially innocent folk. I believe the awesome beauty of nature & the arts remains our only hope in this chaotic world. ... more
