Geocache Description:



Song For A Winter's Night:
"The lamp is burning low upon my table top
The snow is softly falling
The air is still in the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly calling
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you"

The cache is a peanut butter container on the branch of a tree decorated with many Christmas balls. Please feel free to bring your own Christmas tree decoration to add to the tree. Inside the container is log book and some length of wire to secure your decoration, BYOP.

Gordon Lightfoot is truly a Canadian hero. His powerfull and moving song lyrics have influenced Canadians and people abroad over the years. Born in Orillia Ontario on November 17, 1938, he has since travvelled the world and returned to Orillia to live the next chapter of his life. It is an honor to pay tribute to such a wonderful man through the experience of geocaching.


"Song for a Winter's Night" is the title of a song written by Gordon Lightfoot, and first recorded for his 1967 album, The Way I Feel. Lightfoot actually recorded two versions of the song; the second appears on the 1975 album Gord's Gold, a greatest hits compilation on which other re-recordings also appeared.

The song has been covered by several artists, including The Raftsmen (who retitled it "The Hands I Love"), on their 1967 album On Target; Harry Belafonte on his 1967 album "Belafonte on Campus" (under the title "The Hands I Love"); Kenny Rankin, on his 1967 album Mind-Dusters; Catherine McKinnon, on her 1969 album Everybody's Talkin'; Tony Rice, on his 1986 album Me & My Guitar; and Schooner Fare, on their 1987 album Home for the Holidays.

Sarah McLachlan covered the song for the soundtrack to the 1994 film Miracle on 34th Street; her rendition also appears on her 1996 compilation album Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff and on her 2006 Christmas album Wintersong.(taken directly from Wikipedia)
