About 15 years ago I hear Vin Garbutt sing a song,I think the first line was something like "When the lark in in the air." or "when the lark is in the sky." Possible that this could even be the title.Anyhow I would be greatly pleased if any one out there could help!! Here's hoping, Scouse. (:-)smiles for getter once again through the tonder festival without getting to pissed!!! but listening to good music instead.

How about;

Sportsmen arise, the morning is clear, the larks are singing all in the air...

The Lark In The Clear Air? One of Moore's Irish Melodies. Should be easy to find.

Unless it's "Oh, the lark in the morning, she rises off her nest, and she goes home in the evening with the dew all on her breast", which is The Jolly Ploughboy - also easy to find.

I spotted both of those on the web, JTT, but I'm going by what scouse has given. Garbutts homepage doesn't have any discography of anything before 1991 (I think), and further searches on the words have come up with nothing.
Maybe you can remember a bit more of it, scouse, after you've fully recovered from Tønder *BG*

Hope you had a good time.

I'm pretty sure this is the song called.."When the Lark Salutes the Sky" which I heard Vin sing in Auckland many years ago.

this is the best I can do. hope it helps
When the lark salutes the sky
I'll be coming home for you love
To my old and ever new love
When the lark salutes the sky

When the doormouse in the dale
Sees his winter days are over
when the spring has ceased it's slumber
when the lark salutes the sky

When to gentle sleep you fall
And the dew forms on your pillow
and your eye are bright and gay love
When the lark salutes the sky

And I'll take you by the hand
To the place where young love............
Where you'll meet............
When the lark salutes the sky

And the songs of yesterday
The best lines you'll remember
Where the leaves they wither never
When the lark salutes the sky

And we'll face the world anew
When I come home for you love
And we'll start a life anew love
When the lark salutes the sky

When the lark salutes the sky
I'll be coming home for you love
To that old ever new love
When the lark salutes the sky

When the lark salutes the sky
