Thread Name: Lyr Req: Farewell to the North (Ian and Sylvia)
Subject: Like black lace on fading sky-Farewell to the Nort
I've been searching everywhere for the name of a song that haunts me. It starts like this: Don't the trees look great tonight, like black lace on a fading sky
And the sun's gone westward on her run
Leaving me behind with deeds undone
Old tracks covered by new snow, pull up my shallow roots and go.
A man sings it. Came out in the late 60's early 70's.Does anyone know this song and who sang it.
Thanks
