Statement:
Mr. Alley. Mr. Senator, I am a resident of Boundary County and a song writer by profession. My testimony today is a song that I wrote inspired directly by Long Canyon. They're for sale after the show. What a wonderful way to spend a beautiful day with you. The trees are lovely, too. And the birds, they play making music all day long. And the night gets her light from the silvery moon. Can't you feel it in the air? Yeah, love is in the air today. Oh, yeah. Well, let me go up on the hill. We can kiss at will, oh, yeah, where springtime flowers grow and the birds—they play making music all day long. It's a cool canyon breeze against her song. We'll be all alone in deep Long Canyon green. You are all that's on my mind. The World so far behind up here among the pines. As deep inside our love, it's flowing like a stream on velvet mossy green, a forest full of dreams in deep Long Canyon greens. Long Canyon greens.
