I like the guitar in this one. But what's it about, moths, aliens, a hobo?

Legacy track. Took me a while to find this one, I was looking specifically for it to give it some modern treatment.

I also tried to transcribe the lyrics, but I couldn't figure all of them out, so for now I will not post the lyrics. Maybe later.

A song about a meteorite which made landfall in Gloucester in Feb 2021.

By moonlight you came in a cloak made of stars
You sashayed with Jupiter, flirted with Mars
Announced your arrival with footprints of fire
 
From out of the void you set yourself down
In the wintry indifference of a cold market town
Where people lay sleeping or huddled inside
 
No one to greet you, no one to meet you
No one to crack you a smile
A sorrowful end to an odyssey
Over  the years and the miles
 
On Mrs Wickham's driveway, 
By Mrs Wickham's car
At journey's end you settled down to rest
 
On a tarmac bed you lay your head
Naked and alone 
Silent stranger, hobo from the stars
 
They came in their vans, they took you away
Because that's how things are
When you're fleeing from darkness
And guided by the stars
 
On a tarmac bed you laid your head
You'd travelled oh so far
To Mrs Wickham's Driveway

Connect The Dots

This isn’t an attack
Hold your assumptions 
Scale it back
I'm on a mission to gather facts
Things don’t add up in this mismatch

Have to solve it 
Hunt it down
These walls are liquid
No solid ground 
There’s no rest until I click into place
Close the distance
Close the space

Evidence that indicates there’s something off
The relevance seems iffy I’m feeling lost
Just try and understand and connect the dots

Connect the dots 
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots

I’m drowning in the absence of words that glue
Floating in your actions that leave no clue
The misunderstandings have me chewed in knots 

Connect the dots 
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots

Just need to clarify 
Get a picture of your mind's eye
How could you just let it go
Throwing shadows that I don’t know

Things aren’t crystal nowhere near
Make the curtain disappear
Lift the vail of uncertainty 
With some detailed clarity 

Evidence that indicates there’s something off
The relevance seems iffy I’m feeling lost
Just try and understand and connect the dots

Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots

I’m drowning in the absence of words that glue
Floating in your actions that leave no clue
The misunderstandings have me chewed in knots 

Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
