Default relative clauses

Hello,

is it possible to say:
"I was walking to which place I don't known"
I mean I was walking toward a place which was unknown to me.
It should be a lyric, so the meaning, but also the form is important because of the sound. That's why I wouldn't change the construction, if it is possible.
Thanks. ripley

Thanks ripley
If it's a lyric, then you have artistic license to do as you please. :wink:

What about?

I was walking
To which place?
I didn't know

I was walking to a place
which I didn't know

All the best, :D
