It should, of course, be Sandy Denny – but in the absence of a suitable video this lovely version by Judy Collins will have to fill those aching, sobering, moments of the New Year. Make all the resolutions you want – time is inexorable and can’t be taken back. Happy 2018 everyone!
Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
Try the Nina Simone version , an octave lower but absolutely haunting. All three are good it’s just a well written song
