Needless to say the song is wonderful, but what pleases me the most is the fact that she's maintained her beautiful voice as twenty some years have passed since the second album of hers that this song was in.
Original, unique,deep and just the right degree of strange. Hard to experience it without welling up! As for her "popularity": she's just too GOOD to be popular. How many albums did N'SYNC sell? Would you like to buy one off of me? NO, you say??! I rest my case. I however would sell or trade several minor organs to replace my CD of "99.9 F"
(borrowed by a ladyfriend, and MIA since 2008). But you can't find a copy
anyplace. Those who have it are wise enough to hold on to it.
"We strangers know each other now as part of a whole design" people come and people go and hopefully the love always remains. Poetess first and foremost. Beautiful Song.
This song is so beautiful, and knowing the story behind it makes it even better. Simply amazing. How the heck was this woman not more popular? HIDDEN GEM.
the first time I ever saw her was in 1987 at the Lyric Theatre in Baltimore. They sold out 2,500 seats and added a second show. Richard Thompson opened for her, and I got the impression more people had come to see him than her. Still, she received a standing ovation at the end of the night.
Nice one enjoying it

One of my favourite songs of all time. I have a "gypsy" who came into my life for a while who was just like the man described in this.
I'm from very near Liverpool, I would love to know who he was!

Great song. I am a songwriter, too.. Only 11 years old but have written a few songs already

I'm just amazed that this song, and her singing, move me as deeply now as it, and she, did a quarter of a century (!) ago.

No nasty bits with this one. Richard Thomson too! can I pay some royalties in the form of a free 1950's espresso? Hyper Hyper Coffee.

What better can you do than write a song to someone you once loved, a passing stranger?

If you are a dreamer come in
If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer
If youre a pretender com sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin
Come in!
Come in!
