Confined to sex.
We pressed against, the limits of the sea.

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
L Cohen

Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey.
I ache in the places where I used to play.
And I'm crazy for love,
but I'm not coming on.
I'm just paying my rent every day
in the Tower of Song.

L. Cohen

2010 began with a Blue Moon (two full moons in the same calendar month). I'm thinking there might be some significance in that.... especially if you're a Druid.
