Mourning Song
Where there once were
Mountains
There is nothing now but sea
And although
I refuse to sing a mountain song for them
I shall sing a mourning one
For thee

I have the same feeling when we return to Cyprus - to walk into the apartment with our own front door key is a great feeling.

You put your cheque to me in the post, for paying me to say my first comment?! It will make a change from me singing - your turn!

A song from you there? The Sound Of Silence? I can't see any words to it. lol.
Mountains of passion fade to calm once the crashing waves finally stop.
Would be appropriate to mourn such passing.
