27 Jan 10 - 05:36 AM (#2822368) Subject: Lyr Req: Edward From: banksie I heard part of a song last night called `Edward' yet I'm sure I know it by another name. I can't find it on Digital Tradition, but story line is very familiar - about a mother and son, where he comes home covered in blood and tries to explain it away as rabbits etc when in fact he has killed someone (brother, I think). Can anyone point me at some lyrics and/or the title(s) of similar songs. It is one of those songs I have heard under a different title but cannot bring it to mind. Thanks in advance. Martin |
