lyrics

Twelve years old, my world was two miles square
Jump on my bike, and ride who knows where
Down through the park and across the stream
Looking for life…….. In search of a dream

Came to a wood where the air was cool
There stood a boy with eyes like pools
He held out his hand with a cheeky grin
I laid down my bike and followed him in …..

The boy in the blue caravan …..


Dive through the hedge to the other side
Queen Anne’s lace stands four feet high
Down a track beside the wood
In a shaft of light, ……..the caravan stood

Warm and enticing as a candy bar
The door to the caravan stood ajar
Visions of Narnia through the door
But I didn’t go through, so I never saw more….

The boy in the blue caravan....



Draw me a chariot, draw me some kings
Draw me a unicorn, with bright golden wings
He drew them all, and then some more
A heart split in two….., a key to a door…..


The wood’s still there, but the field has gone
Big glass buildings catch the sun.
Did I dream that beside the wood
By the hole in the hedge ……….the caravan stood?

It shone like a jewel, reflected the sky
Queen Anne’s lace stood four feet high
His eyes like pools and his puckish grin
Would I have seen Narnia if I’d gone in?


With the boy in the blue caravan ……

Rick Jones and Valerie Neale Patagonia, Arizona

Husband & Wife. Mutual Muses. Rick Jones and Valerie Neale proved time and time again that some marriages are just plain music in the making.

They released their first cd "Life Drawing" in 2009 and continued to play together without recording another album. Only in 2021, when Rick was diagnosed with cancer, did they realize that they needed to record these songs.
