Crossing the Desert

I recently had the pleasure of working with a truly inspired young artist by the name of Zoe Glover.

Zoe's dad Michael is the painter with whom I've been of collaborating with in multiple media over the past few years.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. A few weeks ago, Zoe (age 9) and I spent an afternoon working on a song together at the new Lawless Gallery in Grafton. Here's what we wrote:


Crossing the Desert
words & music by
Zoe Everett Devereaux-Glover
& David Newland

Crossing the desert
On a camel
Sand is golden
As her hair
Wind is blowing
Dust is drifting
Night is falling
Almost there.

Donkey walking
Voices talking
Shadows shifting
Everywhere
In the moonlight
By the fire bright
Fire flies dancing
In her hair...
