29 Sep 19 - 05:01 PM (#4011117) Subject: Lyr Req: What are these last lines from From: Nick Barnett The last lines are: Something the something morning Something the something morning Something the something day In my head, I am imagining Maddy Prior of Steeleye Spann singing it, but that could be wrong. It's possibly a returning soldier and his girl-type dialogue, but I can't think of any more of the story. I can fill out the 'something's a bit, though. It's For the misty morning, or And the cloudy morning, or similar, brings in the brighter day, or dawns the sunny day, or heralds the clear new day . . . Anyone? |

I also thought perhaps some lady might have covered it In any case, I was wrong oh well J |
