Analysis of Shiny Harmonica
In a soldiers’ camp
With a storm at sea
Round a campfire glow
Come and play with me.
As a Mongol’s trade
For some aged goat cheese
On the quiet back porch
‘Gainst a summer breeze.
I have tunes you know
Others haunt a bit
Gentled hearts will glow
At the warmth of it.
Music brings us all
To a sweet accord.
Maybe brings One Home
To our calling Lord.
