12 Nov 98 - 12:00 PM (#45118) Subject: The Setting From: Shannon Does anybody know the words to a song called "The Setting". It's basically about a man who sees his sister off at the station...I know that brief summary does the song little justice but I'm sure you know what I mean! |

21 Jan 99 - 03:07 PM (#55074) Subject: RE: The Setting From: Don Meixner Shannon The Setting ison the Furey Bros. album "The Setting". Are you sure of the author? While it would surprise me that its a Ralph McTell song,for some reason I thot it was an Andy M. Stewart song. I'll get the words out to you this evening sometime in any case. Don |
21 Jan 99 - 05:41 PM (#55086) Subject: RE: The Setting From: Sam Hudson It is a Ralph McTell song, yes... I think from the "Bridge of Sighs" album. I have a nice cover by the House Band on their "Another Setting" album. |

THE SETTING, by Ralph McTell
Oh, I'll never forget, ah, the walk to the station,
And above all the roar of the town was the blue sky.
And you with your bright eyes and best dress for travel,
I never looked back as the train left the station,
And outside, the trees grew starlings like apples,
And above me, the stars were all hidden by rain clouds. |
