GUEST,Slacker What's this Bert Jansch song? (4) What's this Bert Jansch song? 25 Apr 04


I have no clue about this song except that I'm sure it's Jansch, and I got these lyrics from listening to the song...if anyone knows the title I would be so happy--this is a beautiful song!

A troubled wind has chilled my heart
Killed our love right from the start
And visions of your face
Twist my mind into knots of silken lace

A chance to win a hand so fair
Fades with night and a single prayer
Then a straw hat on your head
Brings morning dreams to a light upon my bed (?)

If dead men swam the waters deep
Then fish would cry all in their sleep
My love I can only try
To lift my head from the depths as you walk by

Now banjos ring and fiddles play
A candle burns to light my way
And turning in my sleep
I dream again of your love, your love to keep
