Subject: RE: Lyr- Diamonds in the Rough
Dale,

Given the above, Sara is probably singing the same: 'So when you're tried and tempted by the scoffer's keen rebuff'. There is no way in the world that I would have picked it - to my ears her 'tried' sounds like 'tired' or even 'tarred' and 'keen' sounds like 'can'. I'll ask Joe to correct my last posting.

Cheers, Stewie.

Done. (grin)
