Well... I resisted, but it was finally too much... My favorite theme. My personal collection of songs starts with a section for the happy ones and then a section for the sad/scornful ones...Where to start? Thanks guys for mentioning so many of my favorites.
What about?:
Suzanne by Leonard Cohen Boots of Spanish Leather Dylan Spanish is the Loving Tongue(the version I have is by Judy Collins) I Love to Sing Hoyt Axton (now there's a love song!) Queen Amang the Heather Dancing at Whitsun
She's Like the Swallow (traditional) She's like the swallow that flies on high She's like the river that never runs dry She's like the sun, beaming on the lee shore...
I'll Be Seeing You-- June Tabor does this nicely Deep in the Darkest Night-- Rick Kemp/recorded by Maddy Prior
and this is only the beginning...
