lyrics:

Blue blue caravan
Winding down to the valley of lights
My true love is a man
Who would hold me for ten thousand nights
In the wild wild wailing of wind
He's a house 'neath a soft yellow moon.
So blue blue caravan
Won't you carry me down to him soon

Blue blue caravan
Won't you drive away all of these tears
For my true love is a man
That I haven't seen in years
He said, "Go where you have to
For I belong to you until my dying day."
So like a fool, blue caravan
I believed him and I walked away.

Oh my blue blue caravan
The highway is my great wall
For my true love is a man
Who never existed at all

Oh he was a beautiful fiction
I invented to keep out the cold
But now, my blue blue caravan
I can feel my heart growing old
Oh my blue blue caravan
I can feel my heart growing old

The thing about watching this vid with zero knowledge of canon is it really does make me feel for her - I genuinely feel sad about what she's lost, I just have no idea what that is. So keep thinking things like "I can't figure out why that guy (who I assume is Rory) is dressed as a Roman in some clips and in modern clothes in others, but the answer is probably utterly heartbreaking. ;__;"

Which sort of makes me want to know what the actual story is out of self defence, becuase canon can't possibly be as sad as this vid, right? RIGHT? ;__; PLZ TELL ME AMY GETS LOVE AND HUGS AND SUNSHINE AND PUPPIES.

She does! Eventually! And sort of! But yes, Amy gets her fairytale ending.

Thank you for the great comment! It's really interesting to hear how this plays for people who don't know the show.

AMY DOES GET LOVE AND HUGS AND SUNSHINE, and there is not YET a puppy but I feel it is only a matter of time. :D
