lyrics

SANDY
[1947-1978]

O’ where did you go
What did you say
Miss Fotheringay
I long for your golden voice
I cry for the words that die with you
Your eyes were like poems in brown
Reflecting the flow of your gown
You spoke to me often in dreams
It seems that I loved you more than I knew

And now you’re silent
And the moon’s crying above
But the tears of sweet rain that fall
Only recall the lilt of your name
Sandy

Your life was a song
Never too long
Did something go wrong
You sang of a lonely life
I’ve held you in moonlit reverie
A stranger has haunted your soul
Inspiring the tales that you’ve told
But finally you heeded his voice
You hadn’t a choice--the stranger was you

And now you’re silent
And the moon’s crying above
But the tears of sweet rain that fall
Only recall the lilt of your name
Sandy

Did fate treat you well
How can you tell
When winter has come
Now London lies cold and grey
The days melt away in sympathy
The life that you lived was brief
Your death overshadowed by grief
The stages are barren now
You took your last bow--the world cries for you

And now you’re silent
And the moon’s crying above
But the tears of sweet rain that fall
Only recall the lilt of your name
Sandy
