Sandy Denny one of the best folk singers ever. I have been a Fairport fan since about 1970 and having spent 45 years at sea travelling all over this lovely planet, this song means so much to me. Great.

@earthangel1936 Thanks for the kind words, glad you felt the same awe. The only other time I had to pull off and listen was when I heard (for the first time) Tori Amos sing "Me and a Gun". Sometimes a person has to stand still and hear.

arguably the greatest song ever witten...certainly my desert island disc
The first time I heard this, I was listening to the radio in my pickup, on the way to retrieve materials for a cabin I was repairing for a customer. I pulled off the road into an abandoned church driveway and listened, knocked on my butt, it was so good. It was my introduction to Fairport Convention. Thanks for posting this.
