[rec.music.gaffa] kate/cocteau/this mortal coil?

A Peter Gariel boot "The Angel" has a song with Kate Bush singing with
Peter called "Another Day".  I know this song is performed by either
the Cocteau Twins or This Mortal Coil, but I can't place it.  Kate sings
something like this:

I loved you a long time ago, you know,
where the winds (somthing - and? ) forget-me-nots blow,
but I just couldn't let myself go,
not knowing what on earth there was to know,
but I wish that I had, because I'm feeling so sad,
that I never had one of your children...

Can anyone direct me to the version I'm thinking of?  Who wrote the song?
Etc?  Thanks!

This song was written by Roy Harper, and the original version
appears on one of his albums, I believe.  The version on this
boot is from the 1979 TV Christmas special "Kate".  Peter Gabriel
is a guest.  There were plans to release this Peter/Kate duet
as a single, but they fell through.
