Is it on Maddy Priors 'Ravenchild'? It is a concept album with Ravens being the central theme. Try Amazon for track listings.

Cheers

Where Ravens Feed
Graeme Miles

I roam and ramble in lonely places
All in the coolness of the rain
Over rolling hill and rugged mountains
Over sandy heath and grassy plain
And should you ask am I contented
I'd answer yes oh yes indeed
For my love it is for lonely places
Where springs leap down where ravens feed

I seek and find these lonely places
Where bounds the hare and deer run
Over crags of grey and mossy boulders
Shaded from the morning sun
And should you ask am I at ease there
I'd answer yes oh yes indeed
For my heart it dwells in lonely places
Where springs leap down where ravens feed

I yearn and long for lonely places
Where hunts the fox and badgers play
Where midnight stars are at their brightest
Where snow lies deep where mists hang grey
And should you ask am I at home there
I'd answer yes oh yes indeed
For my desires are for lonely places
Where springs leap down where ravens feed

I lose myself in lonely places
On heathered moor and bracken fell
And with the wind hold conversation
It always has so much to tell
And should you ask am I at ease there
I'd answer yes oh yes indeed
For I'll always need these lonely places
Where springs leap down where ravens feed

I have the "Where Ravens Feed" CD. It is a wonderful album of great songs sung absolutely superbly by M W-R.

"No one sings this better that Martin Wyndham-Reed."

That's true of every song Martin Windham-Reed ever sings, at least that's how it feels when you hear him.

It's a song that still gets me dewey-eyed, except when Martyn W-R sings it; THEN I just cry unashamedly.

I consider Graham to be one of the greatest songwriters England has produced in the 20th century, and it's a shame that he stopped writing in the mid-70s (he concentrates on writing poetry since then). And Martyn to be one of the top three male English voices on the circuit today (Mick Ryan and Johnny Collins being the other two). So the combination of the two is unbeatable.

If you don't have the "Where Ravens Feed" CD yet, I can only feel sorry for you.
