We drove across kingdoms in a purple
bus
With an onboard loo, no stops, less fuss
We stayed in a house with a lovesick knight
And he cooked us dumplings every night
We visited art and clocks in squares
We cruised on the river and bought toy bears
Saw a church decked out with human bones
And were pleased by the lack of mobile phones
You listened to notes, I stared at rays
As the sun said good-bye to pleasing days
We were brave and adventurous, wandering free
Not bad for a pair like you and like me
