Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Watching the Wheat (Welsh song)
Thanks for printing these lyrics! I used to sing them as a young and foolish lad at school back in the mid sixties living in Pembrokeshire. I seem to remember singing "and i grow ever weeker" instead of "and you grow ever fairer" but i´ll use these words for now. The ballad is such a haunting melody, only the Welsh can write with such pathos :-)
