Subject: RE: Lyrics-'Canticle' from Sim&Gar's Scar. Fair
Alison,

Yes I'm not sure about the second, "Sleeps unaware...." bit. I originally got the words from oone of their songbooks, wrote it down then filed that in my house somewhere. The version I got here is from the LEO music archive. I'm pretty sure that sparrow was part of the original canticle, and the second verse I put up also prods what is left if my memory as the words I saw in the songbook, but this is all open to question as I don't remember so good these days. I am trying to get myself organised and have all of the lyrics I know put on computer but it's a slow process. That's one good thing about Mudcat, it makes my type them out.

Anyway I will go and try to get the words as per S&G Songbook, to qualify or retract what I have just said. And of course there is nothing to say that like many artists they didn't change words in various recordings of songs. I know I do.

I shall return in my pedantry, BB
