She's trying to find lyrics for songs whose titles she's lost. I know some words such as: "Here is the red of the rose you brought to me that night you stole into my hidden bower; Here is a verse of the song you taught to me and here's the gray of the dawn, our parting hour."(acapella harmony) Supposed to be symbolic of the colors in a Persian rug. Any suggestions ?: ? ? ? Not really folk, more camp or parlor songs. Thanks! tlowry@jps.net |

However if you know the first line in the song it might work better. Good Luck. |
