Indeed, it is strange that we aren't friends yet. I did lose about 20 friends once for no apparent reason, so maybe you were a part of that. Who knows.

Sounds like wind blowing in a wheatfield, train rolling down the line, rain coming down on a old tin shed, steel, wire and a rusty heart. Boots of leather and dust and ash. Mollasess and coal and stone. Wedding rings and buried bones of love broken and burnt. Tales and the footprints, ravenswings and souls are earnt."
