25 Jul 03 - 12:05 PM (#990502) Subject: 'when winter walks upon the hill' From: GUEST,wild goose chase I've been haunted and frustrated for decades by a fragment of lyric which I can't trace: When winter walks upon the hill And stands within this place Then I will come to you once more To look upon your face To look upon your face Glimpsed it as a child c.1990. It was the sample text on an ad for a word processing programme in a UK computer magazine (?!). I haven't been able to find it in any anthology or search engine, and I wonder if it has even been published. This is almost certainly a fruitless quest - but this is just the sort of place where the author *might* turn up. I'd be absolutely stunned and delighted if anyone can find it! |

No info about the song but the group seems to write their own material and the web site has e-mail addresses so perhaps you can find out more (click on the text to order the cassette, or on the musicians' names on the main page). |

I haven't got a sound card but I'll order their cassette. Just goes to show that everything lost can be found at mudcat - what a wonderful place. many thanks! |
