Default Millage, the gates, and the Morses. Final version of Ode to the Gates.

Close to you

On the day that the Morses were born the fates got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled money around just like Florida weather
and even added to Lake Sumter some blue

And that is why all the carts in the Villages
Have owners who have to pay millages
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that the Morses were born the fates got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled money around just like Florida weather

And just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Close to you
Close to you


Modifying "(They Long to Be) Close to You" written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David (1963).
This looks like I am done with it.
