Lyric discussion by Blue_Man 

As it's not been mentioned, this song was written by the late, great Sandy Denny, and first appeared on Fairport Convention's "Unhalfbricking" album.

I firmly recommend checking out the original. It's been covered numerous times, but my personal favourite is Nina Simone's heartbreakingly fragile version that's available on her "Anthology" CD.
