Lyrics | You Never Wanted Me lyrics
I can't find the above song so here's
Another that says what it must... "Farewell, Farewell"
Written by Richard Thompson to the tune of Willie O' Winsbury. The voice is Sandy Denny. From the Fairport's "Liege & Lief" album 1969.
Lyrics:
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travellers all
The cold north winds will blow again
The winding road does call.
And you will never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons
O I would,I would if welcome I were
For they loathe me every one.
And will you never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
And can you never swear a year
To anyone but we.
No I will never cut the cloth
Nor drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to the one who lies
Asleep alongside of me
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travellers all
The cold north winds will blow again
The winding road does call.
And you will never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons
O I would,I would if welcome I were
For they loathe me every one.
And will you never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
And can you never swear a year
To anyone but we.
No I will never cut the cloth
Nor drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to the one who lies
Asleep alongside of me
