Inspired by Millie Tremblay's poem titled 'Port Alice Lament'. It is a gentle melody of a man longing for a woman and child. Below are the words:
Mountain do not fall on me today
I have this poem I must write
I have this song to sing
I have this child under my wing
Mountain fall on me next May
But do not fall on me today
I have this child unborn to greet
I have this woman to meet
Come on and do it, do it, do it now please
Come on and do it, do it, do it now please
I have this child unborn to greet
I have this woman to meet
Strength of Vayu blow this ways again
I have this work that I must do
With all these clouds around, I can't see
Please wake the child asleep in me
written around Fall of 1980
