Pretty rough - call it a campfire take. But it'll give the general impression of what I was thinking. Chris did a beautiful sad version. Mine is a little more upbeat I guess - not much but a bit. I need to work on the phrasing at the end of the chorus - a little screwy there.
I want to thank everyone who helped with the revisions - all your comments were appreciated. And special thanks to Kenny for rounding out the roughness of the lyrics. And John for his concerns about all the syllables - there were lots of them

. And Les for his help to stabalize the lyrics. And an extra special thank to Chris who took it in to his heart and made it his own. And... hmmm, boy - starting to sound like an academy award speach...
