Does anyone have the complete lyric for the song "Vanished like the snow" its been driving me nuts for several years on and off as the bloody tune squirrells in my head regularly. I heard it on a Sunday Teatime TV show in the mid 60's called Hallelujah. It was performed by Martin Carthy (and yes I've asked him and he can't remember it either). The other singers on the show which was "light Religous" were Sidney Carter (who wrote "Lord of the Dance") and a wonderful singer called Nadia Cattouse. There was an album of the same name released but I lent my copy and it did not return. What I can remember goes as follows: Vanished like the snowWhat became of Eloise? Abelard he was her lover Once they lived in sanguine ease where they've gone I can't discover
where they've gone I can't discover all the time they come and they go (?missing line?) where the glory and their grace is when they vanish like the snow
Joan came riding from Lorraine everybody knows the story England burned her in the rain theirs the shame and ours the glory
theirs the shame and ours the glory Every body knows the story all the time they come and they go (?missing line?) where their glory and their grace is when they vanish like the snow
