Stone Dragons

The Stone Dragons are a musical duo (Tom and Sue Jeffers) from Toronto who perform a variety of original and cover songs of fantasy and worlds beyond. Their infectious humour is balanced by a more serious side, rounded by their joy of music. They were Interfilk Guests at Conchord in 2010 and have performed at Cons throughout the U.S. and Canada.  They were also nominated last year for a Canadian Aurora Award.

Chorus:
“Here kitten, kitten”
The old man called out
As he held out the bright strip of paper
“Come to me girl”
He sang it aloud
And he laughed as she danced and she capered.

The winds spun in circles
The paper took flight
The whirlwind climbed ever higher
She joyously took
Her bright treasures aloft
The flickering colours like fire

Newspapers hustled past
Bustled past rustled past
Kitten spun faster and faster
She ran off to play
With her toys in the street
A whirlwind has never a master.

Chorus 
Instrumental

Some of her papers
Were older than you
She lovingly juggled her stash
She best loved the comics
With bright coloured hues
And a ribbon she’d found on the grass.

The old man stood smiling
As she played in the street
Spinning her toys in delight
He smiled for he knew
That her life was as real
As anyone else’s that night.

Chorus
