Lyr Req: The Winter Song

I'm looking for two songs I found on the B-Side of a tape which had Telynor on the other side (though I don't believe this is a Telynor song because I've already asked Anna).

The first one's first verse goes "As I rode out one *somethingsomething* day to walk with water stone and tree; it was there that I saw the Lady and her Lord, and he and *something*'s twin was proud as proud could be while so fair and bright was she..."

The second one is similar to another song which I have the lyrics for but they are two different songs.. "where have you been my dearest dear, been seven long years an' more. oh, i've gone to see my *somethingsomething*, that I promised him before..."

I'd appreciate some help thanks.

The second one sounds on the face of it like a version of The Demon Lover (aka House Carpenter, James Harris etc.) There are two examples on the database (HOUSECARP and HOUSECRP2). If that's not it, perhaps you could quote a few more lines? The trouble with opening lines is that they often belong to a number of quite different songs...

Ok then, here is what I have so far of the song... those other two weren't the one.

"where have you been my dearest dear, been seven long years an' more. oh, i've gone to see my *somethingsomething*, that I promised him before... oh won't you turn with us four more times? with Lady's *something* and stars, and don't you talk of those Northern Lights, for I envied them with her."

I have more lyrics but I'm not sure if they are the real lyrics which is why I am looking for this elusive song.

I found out the name of the tape is The Seelie Court, but I haven't found the lyrics yet :(
