I just love Gerry Rafferty and his music.
This song got me through alot, it reappeared in my life a few years ago and I would fall asleep listening to its haunting sound.

Truth is I usually look back at a previous year completely shocked at all that came and went. Especially in the past few years, I have seen so many changes. So I am sitting here waxing poetic about some of the things 2010 did bring.
