Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Song for Grace (Ted Egan)
Subject: At the Going Down of the Sun - Who?
Another song on Loafer's Glory #55, "Down Under", is At the Going Down of the Sun".   The chorus is taken from Lawrence Binyon's famous poem from WWI, but the rest of the song is about three brothers who go off and either don't come back or come back damaged. I'd like to know who wrote the song (haven't been able to find the lyrics anywhere, but since I have the recording...) and who made the recording Phillips played.
