Simple song

by

I am alone tonight

Sitting at the table

There is no light

Nor the end of a tunnel

 

You are here tonight

Sitting at the table

There is a ray of hope

Coming out of the rubble

 

We are here tonight

Sitting at the table

It is dark outside

A joy unfathomable

Thank you Don. Actually, I wrote this one as a song based on a melody I heard today.

I really like this Jeannot. So simple, and the spririts gradually rise to the end......
