Kame

A kame is a geomorphological feature, an irregularly shaped hill or mound composed of sand, gravel and till that accumulates in a depression on a retreating glacier, and is then deposited on the land surface with further melting of the glacier. Kames are often associated with kettles, and this is referred to as kame and kettle topography.

With the melting of the glacier, streams carry sediment to glacial lakes, building kame deltas on top of the ice. However, with the continuous melting of the glacier, the kame delta eventually collapses on to the land surface, furthering the "kame and kettle" topography.

Kame terraces are frequently found along the side of a glacial valley and are the deposits of meltwater streams flowing between the ice and the adjacent valley side. These kame terraces tend to look like long flat benches, with a lot of pits on the surface made by kettles. They tend to slope downvalley with gradients similar to the glacier surface along which they formed, and can sometimes be found paired on opposite sides of a valley.

    Love Calls

    by: Kem

    I'm sittin' here thinkin' about you tonight
    And all that you mean to me
    I used to think I would never fall in love again
    I guess I was wrong
    When your heart was broken
    When your wounded pride was laid to rest, baby
    You'll never open your heart to anyone else you said
    But you lied, I know you're lyin' tome
    You see your mind might be made up, mmm
    But your heart has got it's own plans
    There's no one to blame for false pride, tellin' lies,
    tryin' to hide
    From feelin' the pain, I know you don't wanna feel it
    There's nowhere to hide when the love is callin' your
    name, yeah
    From the dark, babe, nowhere to hide, baby
    There's nowhere to hide, so let love have it's way
    with your heart
    When love calls, love calls, love calls your name
    It's on my lips
    And I wish that you were still here
    To take me away with your kiss
    And take me away from all this crazy, crazy
    'Cause too many words have been spoken, mmm
    Too many lies have been told, baby
    You'll never do it again you told yourself over and
    over and over
    You're wrong, dead wrong, babe, yeah
    There's nowhere to hide, mmm, when love is callin'
    your name
    In from the dark, baby, nowhere to run, girl
    There's nowhere to hide, yeah, so let love have its
    way, girl, with your heart, babe
    Love calls, love calls
    There's nowhere to hide, yeah, when love calls your
    name
    You fall apart, baby
    Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run when love is on its
    way, girl, to your heart, baby
    When love calls, love calls your name, babe
    Love's callin' your name, hey, hey
    It's callin' out for, callin' out for me, baby
    Love's on its way, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    I'm sittin' here thinkin' about you tonight
    And how you make me feel
    The sweetness of your touch
    The softness of your voice, mmm
    You make me wanna be a better man, baby
    And I wanna thank you for calling me into your life
