This song was written in 1969 by Sandy Denny for Dave Swarbrick, then on the periphery of Fairport Convention having done some session work for them. Soon after he became a fully fledged member of the band. He and Sandy Denny were good friends, and some time lovers. It's a beautiful song, more pertinent now they're both gone. RIP Sandy Denny 1978. RIP Dave Swarbrick 2016
