Analysis of Strang Bed Fellows
Strang Bed Fellows
The broken silents at moonlight as the doves last calls for a friend
Who will protect me in darkness can you come near be my friend?
I will protect you through darkness called the owl setting high in the tree.
But how can I trust this bird of prey the owl so close to me?
My night vision is legendary called the owl high in the tree.
I see all movement and promise to let you sleep safely little dove on the branch below me.
Approaching dawn its spectacular rays awaking the little dove asleep in the tree
Strang bed fellows we make called the owl to the dove high in the tree,
Now can you watch over me while I sleep called the wise owl to the dove in the tree.
You gave me trust last night as I slept secure in this tree and now its for me to watch the wise old owl asleep high above in the tree with me.
