Our version of Sandy Denny's beautiful song. She's so amazing.
lyrics
Across the evening sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
It’s time for them to go
Before the winter fire
I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes
Sad, deserted shore
Your fickle friends are leaving
Ah but then you know
It’s time for them to go
But I will not be here
I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
And I am not alone
While my love is near me
And I know it will be so
So until it’s time to go
But come the storms of winter
And then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?

I love it when songwriters revisit their own catalog in different ways. Songs and their meanings evolve over time. Great effort here, and I'm glad I stumbled on it. veenstar

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
