I'm looking for a song about a Unicorn. It is NOT the ones written by Shel Silverstein (Irish Rover version) or Jimmy Webb (The Last Unicorn movie version).

First verse:

High on a hill in a far off land
stood the last of the great unicorn
And as he looked down on the kingdom below,
all he could feel was lonely.
Times had changed for the grand unicorn,
Dark days were long and staying
And though he was fierce and his horn glowed still
the power of his magic was fading

Does anyone know this version?

If so, please contact me at the above email address.

Thanks,

Mark

Haven't seen anything on this one. Any ideas on who sang it? When abouts did you hear it?

So it is NOT this one, from the movie:

THE LAST UNICORN

          When the last eagle flies
          Over the last crumbling mountain
          And the last lion roars
          At the last dusty fountain
          In the shadow of the forest
          Though she may be old and worn
          They will stare unbelieving
          At the Last Unicorn

          When the first breath of winter
          Throught the flowers is icing
          And you look to the north
          And a pale moon is rising
          And it seems like all is dying
          And would leave the world to mourn
          In the distance hear her laughter
          It's the Last Unicorn
          I'm alive... I'm alive

          When the last moon is cast
          Over the last star of morning
          And the future is past
          Without even a last desparate warning
          Then look into the sky where through
          The cloudes a path is formed
          Look and see her how she sparkles
          It's the Last Unicorn
          I'm alive... I'm alive.

I have no idea who wrote this version, I found it on a copied melody of filk songs a friend gave me years ago, and said friend had no idea on the providence. Singer was male, baritone to bass. If people are interested, I could post the rest of the song.
