Following the dissolution of their former band, Wilde Flowers, David Sinclair, Richard Sinclair, Pye Hastings and Richard Coughlan formed Caravan in 1968. Caravan are an English band from the Canterbury area, founded by former Wilde Flowers members David Sinclair, Richard Sinclair, Pye Hastings and Richard Coughlan.[1] Caravan rose to success over a period of several years from 1968 onwards into the 1970s as part of the Canterbury scene, blending psychedelic rock and jazz to create a distinctive sound like their contemporaries Soft Machine. Caravan still remains active as a live band in the 21st century.

Love Song With Flute lyrics

When I've got time on my side, there's nothing I can do
to escape from the scenes that have been making me want you
So I think of the dreams that I've had, and what's left I'd like to do
But my mind draws a blind over me and all I see is you
Look into my eyes - tell me what you see - listen to me now

I'm needing you - though it may not seem to be
I'm needing you - you're all I care to see
I'm needing you - and you, you...
I'm needing you - and you, you...

I can feel the sun in my hair when I'm sitting here with you
Who cares if I'm lost in my mind? My dreams are overdue
I've been living more for myself than I've ever done before
And my feeling's so real over you, I keep coming back for more
When I look at me, all that I feel and all I see is you - so look into my eyes

I'm needing you - though it may not seem to be
I'm needing you - you're all I care to see
I'm needing you - and you, you...
I'm needing you - and you, you... but not them.

I love this song .....and Caravan.

[SlapheadMedia]

Afraid not, the BBC have 'lost' it, meaning they threw out the film print. You never know though, a hero might of taken it for themselves and preserved it. Still hunting, but luck is not on my side.

Either way this is a very nice cover version
