in a crooked, distorted building
you were trying again for love within some new walls

Where solitude finds its home,
The meadowlark sings its...

Ocean Falls, B.C. has on average
Over 300 days of rain a year
Surely not somewhere I'd want to live

Loving kindness was her creed
Drenched in thoughtfulness...
