Kuwaykat
Kuwaykat (Arabic: كويكات), also spelled Kuweikat, Kweikat or Kuwaikat, was a Palestinian village located 9 km northeast of Acre. It was depopulated in 1948.
History
The old khan (caravansary) in Kuwaykat possibly dated to the Crusader period or an earlier date. According to historian Denys Pringle, the khan might have been part of the headquarters of Genoese estate in the village built in the 13th century. It consisted of a round barrel-vaulted building made of ashlar.
In 1245, it was noted that western part of Kuwaykat was owned by the Church and Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr in Acre.
Ottoman era
In the late Ottoman period, Kuwaykat was named Chiouwe chiateh on the French map Pierre Jacotin made of the area during Napoleon's invasion of 1799.
In 1875 Victor Guérin visited, and found the village surrounded with gardens planted with fig and olive trees, and with an ancient well. He further noted that the village was mentioned in Crusader sources.
In 1881 Kuwaykat was described by the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine as being built of stone and situated at the foot of hills. The roughly 300 Muslim residents cultivated olives. In 1887, an elementary school was built in the village. In addition, the village had a mosque and a shrine for the Druze religious leader, Shaykh Aby Muhammad al-Qurayshi.

Used To Love
by: Keke WyattWo oh oh
wo oh oh, wo oh oh oh
wo oh
Now baby I been thinking bout how you been acting strange
and baby I been thinking how so many things have changed
in my life, in my home, in my bed
said I remember how you used to love
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the key on your way
catch a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
Now boy I can remember how I used to foot the bill
and yes I do regret the day I took your broke ass in
to my life, to my home, to my bed
said that I must have lost my head
I guess you thought that I'd let you walk on me like the floor
I gues you thought that you'd keep tracking dirt inside my door
you got it all wrong
it's been too long
all of the love is gone
now I'm singing you this song
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the key on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the keys on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
You must have thought that you were getting over for so long
but I was giving you the chance to make things right from being so wrong
but your time is up, took too long, I don't wanna hear it
get your shirt, shoes, pants and draws up from outta here
Oh oh oh oh
wo oh ooh wo
woo woo oh
Like you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the keys on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the keys on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
Oh oh oh
