I wrote this minor ballad in November. I'm trying to compose a tune for it. May be D minor would work.. The Old Maple Where the long river flows Where mountains reach the sky Where the old maple grows Where eagles fly high I dream of such a place Where there's none but You and I A place for us to live A place for us to die By the orchard in the cottage I'd lay me in your arms While the winds whisper softly Getting lost in your charms While the seasons pass by Together, we would stay Chasing our own dreams We will find our way I wish to see you, Dear Oh, smiling all the while So come and take my hand And we'll walk the lovers' mile In the hills of Himalayas I've seen a paradise Like the light of happiness I've seen in your eyes While the snow softly falls 'Cross the panes of my heart Your love will keep me warm Knowing we would never part There's a place that I know In the valley so green I swear to you my love There's a place you've never seen Where dreams do come true Where memories never die Where I long to be with you Where there's none but You and I.

Thanks for reading Madhuresh. I am not referring to any place in general, but to the overall divinity and spiritual being of the great Himalayas. I did visit Ranikhet in Summer 05, which I thought of while writing the song.

Basically song is sounding a bit more like country song (sorta don mclean stuff..) .. jeeeeez .... tho there's a bit of screaming n high pitch voices... however i m looking for kinda genre of Incubus, 911 or boyzone etc.... This is wat i figured but i think m gonna change a loads. will sit again this weekend.. hey u can hv goood bothered long weekend this time G.................................
