Devon

Sarah Moss 1974 (Preston)

Rhymed
I have come to get away from it all...
A beautiful holiday to reboost my soul...
Down south where the icecream is creamy
Devonshire coast looking calm and dreamy...
Following footpaths to beaches hidden away...
Watching the boat unanchor and sailaway....
The skies tonight are alive with stars...
Shooting and popping above salt eaten cars...
Millionaire mansions hidden amongst the sand dunes..
Lazy towns echoing Devon folk tunes..
The Devonian s smiling saying hello,.
Where do you you come from ...when do you Go?...
I love this town and I will come again..
It will be soon ..I just don't know when x
