Left to ask for reasons why. You know time she never slows, and we surely didn't know that this would be the last time that we would ever talk and I cry 'cause you won't by my side and this would be the last time that we would talk, and I'm left crying 'cause you went by my side, you know the say life it ain't truly fair at times all is in despair, but we will carry on singing for our friends who've gone. Cause all that we can do is sing to and we'll how the moon when we think of you cause all that we can do is sing enough to how that we think lapes, bursian girls, oh lapes, por si on gueis, oh la pez, por si vous.

This next song is called Shalom. It's about a very special place that my family had for 75 years, and it makes me think of the sound of the northern loon on the lake late at night, and how eerie that would be.

SPEAKER_01 4:25

We all knew that this time was coming soon when we would sing for the last time with the northern loon. You know it's so damn hard to say goodbye so soon Since 1949. You know we served a lot of time, plenty of good times and beer and cheap wine. Where's the time gone? Oh, where's it gone? Shalom, you've always been a second home for us to roll a place where we are free to be who we wanna be, but more importantly, it's a place for family. It's a place where we find our peace. Yeah, there's no place I'd rather be. I think we all agree it's not just some other place. It's blessed with the spirit of the gust of sin's grace. How if seventy-five years come and gone Oh, things just quiet ain't what they used to be, except in the dissonance and the family harmony. Oh, I wish it were a breeze to set you free. Shalom, you've always been a second home for us to roll. A place where we are be to be who we wanna be, but more importantly, it's a place for family, it's a place where we find our peace. Yeah, there's no place I'd rather be Shalom You've always been a second home for us to roam a place where we are free to be who we wanna be, but more importantly, it's a place for family, a place where we find our peace.
