Jersey Thursday.

Jersey Thursday.

Lyrics and Vocals: Scottish musician, songwriter(lyrics emblematic of the flower power era) and record producer, Donovan Phillips Leitch, known mononymously (without a surname or middle name), using only the single name ‘Donovan‘.

The song, hereunder, depicts a dreamy, mystical scene of “gulls wheeling, spinning” by the seaside on a Thursday. The lyrics evoke a peaceful, timeless feeling, not specifically tied to any location, but rather a mood, possibly hinting at a quiet, reflective time, spent away from the usual busy bustle of everyday living.

Jersey Thursday.

Jersey Thursday.

In the tiny piece of coloured glass my love was born,
And reds and golds and yellows were the colours in the dawn.
Night brought on its purple cloak of velvet to the sky,
And the girls go willing spinning on Jersey Thursday.

In the tiny piece of coloured glass my love was born,
And reds and golds and yellows were the colours in the dawn.
Night brought on its purple cloak of velvet to the sky,
And the gulls were wheeling, spinning on Jersey Thursday.
