"UNDERNEATH THE ARCHES" *Song
A Shadow Shot tune association.....
At the circus, two hours of shadow shot opportunities! This is one of many.
Two mattresses below await the simultaneous cannon 'ball' shots of two performers.
(Better than looking at the caged, sad looking animals, performing at the crack of the whip!)
*The song: words and music by Bud Flanigan 1931, recorded by the Andrew Sisters in 1948, A song much sung during the WW II years in Great Britain, perhaps even in the desert.
Underneath the arches,
I dream my dreams away;
Underneath the arches
On cobble stones I lay.
Ev'ry night you'll find me
Tired out and worn;
Happy when the day light comes creeping,
Heralding the dawn.
Sleeping when it's raining
And sleeping when it's fine,
Trains rattling by above!
Pavement is my pillow
No matter where I stay
Underneath the arches,
I dream my dreams away.
