SOMEONE HERE MUST KNOW

I posted a lryc./chrd request (click) about a month ago and didn't recieve any succesful response. Actually, what I'd like to know is WHO sung this song, and then I could find the rest of the info. myself. Amongst all of you afficionados, however you spell that, there must be someone who knows this song- so I'm posting again.

(The song sounds like it could have been recorded anywhere from 1980 to 97, the time I heard it. The male singer has a deep voice and sort of half speaks/half sings it the way Leonard Cohen might.)

Here are the lyrics that I remember, the chorus:

"Do they know I was a Pastor? I was a saint in the church.
I fought for my children and I did good work.
I fought for my lover and my self-respect...

And the nectar of life never left my tongue...
...........Forever young"

Anyone?

I've heard this... but I don't know. I can almost hear the melody. Sorry, no help here. I'll post it if I figure it out. At least I brought it to the top for you.

Guest, did you know that you could pull up the old thread by resetting the [AGE] box? Not a complaint. Just to let you know, threads never really go away and can be brought back to life any time.
