The Mother and Child Reunion


The Mother and Child Reunion, originally uploaded by Canadapt.

I definitely have a severe case of what we northern Canadians call "cabin fever." It strikes typically in February or March when we have had to much of winter. Unfortunately, we still have another 4 to 6 weeks to go (and sometimes longer). I can't wait for the Loons to return home, ahem, I would go loony without them :)

Mother and Child Reunion (Paul Simon)

No I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine

I can't for the life of me
Remember a sadder day
I know they say let it be
But it just don't work out that way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again

No I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine

I just can't believe It's so
Though it seems strange to say
I never been laid so low
In such a mysterious way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again

But I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
When the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away

Oh the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
Oh the mother and child reunion
Is only a moment away
