Fotheringay Lyrics


How often she has gazed from castle windows over
And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall
With no-one to heed her callThe evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun
And in a lonely moment those embers will be gone
And the last of all the young birds flownHer days of precious freedom, forfeited long before
To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door
But those days will last no moreTomorrow at this hour she will be far away
Much farther than these islands
Or the lonely Fotheringay

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Fairport Convention is often credited with being one of the first English folk rock bands. Formed in 1967, Fairport rapidly developed from playing cover versions of American 'west coast' music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional english folk tunes and songs. Like their peers The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Jefferson Airplane they were blessed with several considerable individual talents and produced music that -at least initially- was eclectic, as well as exploratory.
