So join the union while you may, don't wait until your dying day., for that might not be far away, you dirty blackleg miner!

a song to periodically remind us how to deal with scabs.

Come, come with me out to the old churchyard

I so well know those paths 'neath the soft green sward

Friends slumber in there that we want to regard;

We will trace out their names in the old churchyard

Current mood: wandering around the local cemetery singing The Old Churchyard by Offa Rex

Wow.....

[flame-of-ostwick-archive]

The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the endless skies, my love To the dark and the endless skies And the first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there at my command, my love And the first time ever I lay with you I felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy would fill the earth And last 'til the end of time, my love And it would last 'til the end of time, my love

Offa Rex (a collaboration of The Decemberists and Olivia Chaney) performs a cover of the classic love song, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.  This version is beautiful and makes me smile.  It also gives me shipping feels for many of my OTPs, including Kallura.  Give it a shot and see if you agree.
