That's such a heartbreaking moment to me for so many reasons. Aside from the obvious ones, my dad sings this song all the time so it really resonated with me. It's such a poignant song, too, all about being drawn in by beauty and betrayed by it in the end. Cindy, did you deliberately pick that song because of the theme of betrayal and appearances being deceiving or is it simply one you love? -- Cindy's Cottage

I actually picked it because it was one my grandma used to sing to me when I was little, and so it's always had a special place in my heart. Also because the woman in the song, as I understand it, was sometimes Belfast itself. (NT) -- celtgirl, 18:50:04 07/22/09 Wed
