Now, I'm not sure about this one, because the one I think it could be might have been capitalized and had .... after it. It depends on who's transcribing the lyrics. Another one of my vistories.
Q327 .... at dawn
Miguel
Like a shadowy ghost at dawn he came and he went

Hi
Lynn ! I made the differentiation correctly, so I thought I would tastefully indicate this, discretely so that no undue attention is drawn to the fact that I forgot for one post you are 4Lane, and oTJ is TomCat !
I'm good now. So a, oTJ says YOU (snicker) got this answer w/o his help (a hahaha) OK, I'm buyin', I'm wit ya. Hit me with it. I'm a I'm all ears, you dig ?
OK tseeer,
Q327 .... at dawn =
Miguel ?
OK Lynn I'lll drop the phony 'deal-cutter' from Die-Hard 1
the guy that thought he'd 'cut a deal with the Euro-somethings in the Nakamichi Tower. I hope that got a laugh out of you, dispite how obtuse it was. So - here is the way its Shown in our datum of reference - Lightfoot.ca:
"Like a shadowy ghost
at dawn he came and he went"
Since the dot rules say .... at dawn , with no dots
after players are to assume that it must be found at the end of a verse line (sentence).
In this case, there are more lyrics after 'at Dawn' so... I am sorry Lynn, the
boyz, they'll breaka my legs if I give you dis one capiche ? lol - I am sorry Lynn. But its the same way everyone else picked up the finer points of the dot rules which I've managed to condense to this:
Q997 ....cool words .... - means there have to be lyrics on both sides.
Q998 .... cool words - means the words given are at the END of the verse
Q999 Cool words.... - means the words given have to be the start of verse.
So your case - Q327....at dawn fits the Q997 model,
at dawn would have to be at the end of the verse. It would have to read like this to work:
Like a shadowy ghost he came and he went
at dawn "
w/ dawn at end. . Sorry about that, Lynn. Don't feel bad - everybody learned them that way. You've picked up everything so fast - I'm amazed you went so far without a learning oops'er. Tell oTJ it didn't work - lol j/k !
I also understand about 'who's transcribing' - because a LOT of Gords verse go like this: Cool words cool words, Cool words cool words.
And almost everyone at one point or another assumed the comma in the middle, as in the verse from Miguel, ws the end of a verse, especially when just listening (the admirable way) - but looking up in lightfoot.ca to checjk your answer is now considered absolutely fine to do. I know a lot of his songs sound like a verse end where Lightfoot.ca shows commas. Anyway - if another 'offical EMP release of lyrics or something like that shows them stacked narrrow and tall, with commas at the end, it;d work. But for now, we gotta go with Lightfoot.ca. One time Char caught an error in Lightfoot.ca - in the RobinHood song everyone is embarrassed by ( men in tights) - the song clearly said when heard: with suits the shade of evergreen. But lightfoot.ca said it was the 'sheen' of everbreen. So its been disproved once to my knowledge. hEY oH WELL another clue.... you'll get it. for Q327, I'll give
everyone who reads this the 2nd clue on Q327:
- The intended song is one of Gord's 'most ethereal songs' by his words, and Kefara found it very interesting - with Gordon using a literary tool to indicate relationships love lostas ghosts - that appear in so many songs, he also said the song had very cool chords in it, and this song had chords Lightfoot had 'never used before, very cool, very cool' . One last hint - moss-covered ( ). Happy hunting Lynn.
