Biography:
Sandy Denny (Alexandra Elene Maclean Denny, 6 January, 1947 – 21 April, 1978) was an English singer and songwriter, perhaps best known as the lead singer for the folk rock band Fairport Convention. She has been described as "the pre-eminent British folk rock singer".
After briefly working with British folk band the Strawbs, Denny joined Fairport Convention in 1968, remaining with that band until the end of 1969. She formed the short-lived band Fotheringay in 1970

This version follows Sandy Denny's demo recording with voice and piano.
It's on the expanded versions of the Rendezvouz album, and on some other collections.
The official, orchestrated version on Rendezvous is different only in minor details:
A slightly different timing in the phrase "I won't linger..." and a different outro.
Most people hold the demo superior to the orchestrated version.
