about

Written just before the recent archeological discovery of the exact site where the original bluestone circle in the Preseli hills stood prior to its transportation to Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plain around 2100 BCE. This song asks the question why was this amazing feat undertaken and frames the answer as a love story.

lyrics

Bluestone Traveller
(words and music Roy Jones)

On a sacred mountain in the land of sunsets
Was a circle of light made of stone and starshine
Before Brahmin or Druid dreamed a thousand's essence
A woman of the eastern plains came walking

Bluestone traveller
What are you looking for?

The Bluestone Tribe knew the old Earth magic
The sun and moon and the stars their cycles
From the longest day to the longest night time
Marked the sacred space of the cosmic mind

Bluestone traveller
What are you looking for?
Bluestone traveller
What are you looking for?

As the setting sun dipped into the ocean
She found love in the heart of the circle

Bluestone traveller, traveller, traveller

Together eastward one by one
Bluestones to the rising sun

Bluestone traveller
What are you looking for?
Bluestone traveller
What are you looking for?

Bluestone traveller, traveller, traveller
Traveller, traveller
