Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ...what the Wild Goose Knows..
Bless you, Sorcha!

I'm going to shut down and catch a few Zs before work later this morning (my it is late!). Will be looking fwd. to your next response. If you could link to a website with the lyrics and save yourself typing 'em in that would be fine.

This song came out when I was roaming the White Mts. of Northern NH, but knowing that I was soon off to the War with a broken heart - torn in several directions by a lost love, the ending of a tormented childhood, and a strong sense of migration instinct. It was the season for leaving, and when the geese went over that year I could hear in their cry my calling. That was over 30 years ago.

Thanks!
