Liner Notes

#cryptid #singersongwriter #folklore
Another, probably last attempt at this one. And none too serious

Lyrics

Nessie comes out once a year
But only for the tourists
When she sees scientists hanging round
She never likes to appear

A legend since before the dawn
Of time when things were new
Nessie swims beneath the deep
Making fans anew, in America

Some blurry photos long ago
Long since then debunked
They will not shake my faith in you
Still got the sceptics stumped
In America, Canada too

Nessie be me saviour
We believe in you
We yearn for the unknown
Wouldn’t be the same if you were shown
To be real,
Well that’s just how I feel

Nessie comes out once a year
But only for the tourists
Look fast, look long
You’ll see Nessie swimming along

Ah, Nessie. Didn't know there was a connection to North America...!
We went to the Loch once. Didn't see her though 🙁

This has all the makings of a folk song. I especially like the personal point of view, which of course is just what makes it so different from all those scientific researchers.
