Text: Sandy Denny. In Memory.
I hear the sighing of the wind
Like a murmur of regret
And as I close my eyes
I see a face I will never forget
I see you running with the dawn
But that was many years ago
When you had seen the tender years
The only years you were to know
I knew a time when you and i
Ran through trees of green and gold
And gazed at clouds of feather grey
I never dreamt we would ever grow old.
But time has passed, my mind will dim
The hands will turn away my days
But you remain a timeless smile
Who'd just begun life's tangled ways.
Like a murmur of regret
And as I close my eyes
I see a face I will never forget
I see you running with the dawn
But that was many years ago
When you had seen the tender years
The only years you were to know

Ran through trees of green and gold
And gazed at clouds of feather grey
I never dreamt we would ever grow old.
But time has passed, my mind will dim
The hands will turn away my days
But you remain a timeless smile
Who'd just begun life's tangled ways.
