Sad deserted shore... fickle friends leaving.... Sandy Denny remains, no thought of time.

'Who Knows Where The Time Goes ?'

An oldie but a goodie. Based on a William Blake text... Julie Covington, 'My Silks And Fine Array' :

My silks and fine array,
My smiles and languish'd air,
By love are driv'n away;
And mournful lean Despair
Brings me yew to deck my grave:
Such end true lovers have.


His face is fair as heav'n,
When springing buds unfold;
O why to him was't giv'n,
Whose heart is wintry cold?
His breast is love's all worship'd tomb,
Where all love's pilgrims come.


Bring me an axe and spade,
Bring me a winding sheet;
When I my grave have made,
Let winds and tempests beat:
Then down I'll lie, as cold as clay.
True love doth pass away!
