Mockingbird - Barclay James Harvest

Rain, Sea, Surf, Sand, Clouds and Sky

There's a Mockingbird singing songs just for you and me.

 Having booked the taxi for 08:00, by half past the hour it was dawning on me that my sense of judging character was beginning to fail me?

a potential 4 'splits' here?
