Among the Heather...

I roved out on a bright May morn,
So calm and clear was the weather
I chanced to roam some miles from home,
Among the beautiful blooming heather,

CHORUS:
And it's heather on the moor, over the heather,
Over the moor and among the heather
(repeat last two lines of previous verse)
And it's heather on the moor.

As I roved along with my hunting song,
My heart as light as any feather.
l met a pretty maid upon the way,
She was tripping the dew down from the heather.

"Where are you going to my pretty fair maid,
Come hill or dale now tell me whether."
Right modestly she answered me,
"To the feeding of my lambs together."

"I come from far beyond the hill,
To fetch a lamb that's strayed from t'other.
But I think I'll stay awhile this day
And take me time among the heather"

Well, we both shook hands and there we sat,
For it being the finest day in summer,
We sat 'til the red setting beams of the sun
Came a-sparklin' down upon the heather.

"Now, I must be gone before night's dawn,
And take the little one with the others
But I am loathe to part from you
As loathe are lambs to depart their mothers"

Up she rose and away she goes,
Her place and name l know not either,
But if I were king, I'd make her queen,
The lass I met among the heather

CHORUS:
And it's heather on the moor, over the heather,
Over the moor and among the heather
(repeat last two lines of previous verse)
And it's heather on the moor.





Just a fun song I've been listening to recently, by the one and only Charlie Zahm. Great balladeer, he is. Possibly inspiring a story. More on this soon...

I wrote another chapter to faces a while ago, but it didn't really fit the mood of the story, so I'm going to rewrite it. I like the general idea, but not the way it was written.

Anyway, I'm moving on.

After getting home from the Film Festival, I got a card from the Zimmermans; It was a late birthday card.

On the inside, it said, 'Happy Birthday, and Get Well Soon!'

At first, I was surprised, but reading onward, I saw that it said 'Oops, I thought this was for our Son in Law!'

HAHA! Now get this, I was just getting over a cold when I got that card.

Isn't that hilarious?

Man. I just love timing.

Anyway, yawl have a great time, I'm going to clean my office!!

Oh, here's a picture of me at FED.

Slightly touched up in Photoshop, but not much.


I just liked the feel of the picture. And my suit coat was too big.

Who cares.

;-)

Enjoy folks!
