Sandy Denny - Autopsy - lyrics

You must philosophise,
But why must you bore me to tears?
Youre red around the eyes,
You tell me things no one else hears.
You spend all your time crying,
Crying the hours into years,
Crying the hours into years.
Come, lend your time to me,
And you will know that you are free.
And when you look at me,
Dont think youre owning what you see,
For remember that youre free,
And thats what you want to be,
So just lend your time to me.

Sandy Denny - 3. 10 To Yuma - lyrics

There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to yuma
And its the only train left for me to ride on
Ill catch that lonely train called the 3.10 to yuma
Ill get my ticket now for my last time
They say the life of man is made up of four seasons
And springtime finds him young and planting his grain
And then the summer comes bringing warm rains of reason
And time to reap his crop of heartache and pain
The winter comes, finds him snow-cropped and laden
He has been humbled now, walking into the rain
But the rains of death never fall from the cloudless skies of yuma
Time stand still for those on that 3.10 train
There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to yuma
And its the only train left for me to ride on
Ill catch that lonely train called the 3.10 to yuma
Ill get my ticket now for my last time

Sandy Denny - After Halloween - lyrics

Red and gold, and halloween have passed us by,
The charcoal branches lean against the rosy sky,
You are so far away, yet I could touch you if I may,
But dont you worry now, Im only dreaming anyway.
You may be lonely, you may be just on your own.
You could be anywhere, someplace that I have known.
But who am I and do we really live these days at all?
And are they simply feelings we have loved and do recall?
Oh the sea has made me cry,
But I love her, too, so maybe I love you.
For tears are only made of salt and water,
And across the waves the sound of laughter.
October it has gone and left me with a song
That I will sing to you although the moment may be wrong.
Could it be the seas as real as you and i?
I often wonder why I always have to say
Im only dreaming anyway.
(repeat last verse)

Sandy Denny - Bird On A Wire - lyrics

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If i, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If i, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, ``you must not ask for so much.
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, ``hey, why not ask for more?
Oh like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

Sandy Denny - A Sailor's Life - lyrics

A sailors life, it is a merry life.
He robs young girls of their hearts delight,
Leaving them behind to weep and mourn,
They never know when they will return.
Well, theres four and twenty all in a row
My true love he makes the finest show.
Hes proper tall, genteel and all,
And if I dont have him, Ill have none at all.
Oh father, build for me a bonny boat,
That on the wide ocean I may float
And every queens ship that we pass by,
There Ill enquire for my sailor boy
They had not sailed long on the deep
When a queens ship they chanced to meet.
``you sailors all, pray tell me true,
Does my sweet william sail among your crew?
``oh no, fair maiden, he is not here
For hes been drownded we greatly fear
On yon green island as we passed it by,
There we lost sight of your sailor boy.
Well, she wrung her hands and she tore her hair.
She was like a young girl in great despair.
And her little boat against a rock did run.
how can I live now my sweet william is gone?

Sandy Denny - Blackwaterside - lyrics

One evening fair I took the air
Down by blackwaterside
twas gazing all around me
When the irish lad I spied
All through the first part of that night
We did lie in sport and play,
When this young man arose and he gathered his clothes,
Saying, ``fare thee well today.
Thats not the promise that you gave to me
When the first you lay on my breast,
You could make me believe with your lying tongue
That the sun rose in the west.
Go home, go home, to your fathers garden
Go home and weep your fill,
And think upon your own misfortune
Which you bought with your wanton will.
Theres not one girl in this whole town
As easily led as i,
And when the sky does fall and the seas will run dry,
Why, its then youll marry i.

Sandy Denny - All Our Days - lyrics

We search for everything
Keeping what we would win
Orchids or tiny flowers
Wooden huts or ivory towers
Centuries or hours
Dark are the winter days
Holy in many ways
Vaults of time unshaken
Whilst as through them we are taken
Sleeping forests wake
Ice melts on the lake
Birds begin in making their way back home
The frost and the fire goes
East winds and winter snows
Sun upon the daffodils
Dancing on the verdant hills
Lambs in the fields
Warmer grows the morning sun
Days of youthfulness and fun
The prime of the year begun
The song of summer to be sung
Everything is one
Working day is done
Watch the river running through our lives
How slowly the colours change
We feel the drops of rain
Mists of evening rise again
We rarely stroll the shadowed lanes
As autumn night draws in
We sit upon the sand
Warmth draining from the land
Watching the ruby sun
Setting on the ocean
The echoes in the caves
The flame upon the waves
Memories for saving all our days

Sandy Denny - At The End Of The Day - lyrics

Oh babe you are the one I love,
You are the one Im thinking of.
You know its still a long long way,
But Ill be home at the end of the day.
Ill sing my songs just for you
And Ill bring my love home to you.
I can hardly wait to see your face again,
But Ill be home at the end of the day.
Just miles and miles of rosy sky,
Ill fall asleep by and by.
Im crying now cos youre so far away
But Ill be home at the end of the day.
Oh babe you are the one I love,
You are the one Im thinking of.
So many words I need to say.
Youll hear them all at the end of the day.
But Ill be home at the end of the day.

Sandy Denny - Ballad Of Easy Rider - lyrics

The river flows, flows to the sea
Whereever that river goes thats where I want to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to someother town
All he wanted was just to be free
And thats the way it turned out to be
Flow, river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to someother town
Flow river go, past the shady tree
Flow river flow, flow to the sea
Flow river flow, flow to the sea
The river flows to the sea
Whereever that river goes thats where I want to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to someother town
All he wanted was just to be free
And thats the way it turned out to be
Flow, river flow, let your waters rush down
Take me from this road to someother town
Flow river go, past the shady tree
Flow river flow, flow to the sea
Flow river flow, flow to the sea
