And Who Knows Where
She gave us so much , with her words and her music, and we gave her our love.Her voice will live on forever in her songs.
She lives, for us, in one particular piece, written by Dave Swarbrick, White Dress, a touching, heartfelt song, that invokes
Sandy's image, so well. She left us far too soon, and the loss was and still is, felt deeply, but, she left us an amazing
legacy, that you can hear anytime you want, if you go out a purchase the records. Do yourself a huge favour and do that,
and in remembering Sandy heed the words of the lyrics to White Dress by Dave Swarbrick, written for and sung by Sandy ...remember
and be joyful and be glad.
White
Dress
(Dave Swarbrick)
Feel how the wind blows, December despair, Bring me a ribbon to tie up my hair, I’ll be your
bride, go where you go, All of my life, you’ll be my beau.
Kiss me and I might Put on a white dress, If
you’ll take me dancing tonight. The night’s in your face, sky’s in your eyes, The day’s in my
arms when you’re by my side, Whenever you’re weary I’ll sing you a song, Whenever you’re lonely
I’ll show you you’re wrong.
Come from the window, let’s climb the stairs, All of my sorrows are
none of your cares; While life is in us, let’s love all we can. I’ll be your women, you’ll be my man.
Kiss
me and I might Put on a white dress, If you’ll take me dancing tonight. The night’s in your face, sky’s
in your eyes, The day’s in my arms when you’re by my side, Whenever you’re weary I’ll sing you
a song, Whenever you’re lonely I’ll show you you’re wrong.

for many, the abiding voice
of Fairport Convention.
During 1969 alone,
Sandy and Fairport released
three extraordinarily accomplished
albums and the second of these

definitive version of Sandy’s finest song.
