about

My lovely friend is of Indian heritage. I am a Virgo, she is a Scorpio. I discovered that astrologically western Virgo and Indian Scorpio share a same star. In the West it is called Spica, in Hindu is called Chitra. Astronomers have now discovered it is a binary system, two stars that circle each other every 4 Earth days. A dance of love. So nice of my dear friend Carlie Laidlaw to add her lovely voice to this sweet song. Twinkle Twinkle was really an after thought to add in as the melody seemed fit right in with the chord pattern, it is public domain. The art work was also done by Ken Nilsen and is an image from his illustrated book of poems, 'Little Miss Holly'. This release replaces the original release from March 2022.

lyrics

A Van Gogh sky, beautiful night
Dancing suns in a swirling sky
Virgos toe, Scorpio
round and round in love we go
It's a lullaby and the universe knows
it's for you and I

The moons a pearl in shimmering sky
Binary system, that's you and I
Chitra sighs, and Spica sings
dancing stars on gossamer wings
It's a lullaby and the universe knows
It's for you and I.
