| Fairport Convention – Fotheringay Lyrics | 6 years ago |

The literal meaning is clear: death of Mary Queen of Scots. But I think this was about Sandy Denny's inner self. She was a restless soul that felt trapped "To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door," When she had a child in 1977, it was not enough and a year later she was dead at 31. "Tomorrow at this hour she will be far away, Much farther than these islands, Or the lonely Fotheringay" free at last. Dear God I hope she is. |
