The first track of the Storm Force Ten album. I really like this song, and haven't found it on youtube, so I've decided to upload it.

Chorus:

Awake, awake oh northern wind

Blow on my garden fair

Let my lover come to me

And tell me of his care

For now the winter it is past

Likewise the drops of rain

Come lie in the valley of lilies

Midst the roses of the plain

He took me to a garden fair

And there he laid me down

His left hand lay beneath my head

His right did me surround

His eyes were palms by water brooks

His fingers rods of gold

His head upon my breast did lie

His love did me enfold

Her hair is like a flock of goats

Across the mountain side

Her breasts are like the grapes upon

The vine where I shall bide

Her mouth is sweeter far than vine

And warm to my embrace

No mountain side can hide my love

No veil conceal her face

My lover's hand was on the door

My belly stirred within

My fingers wet with myrrh

I pulled the bolt to let him in

With my own hands I opened

But I found I was alone

My soul failed for my lover had

Withdrawn himself and gone

I'll get me to a mount of myrrh

And there I'll lay me down

For waters cannot quench my love

In floods it cannot drown

My love is clear as the sun

She's fair as the moon

Oh stir not up nor waken love

Lest it should come to soon

Kirkpatrick totally changed the sound of this group. The great Seamus Tansey felt that a "box" player had no authentic place in a traditional band. He argued that the horrid accordion drowned all other instruments and militated against subtleties in the general sound. This was a very different Steeleye album and I felt losing Peter Knight reduced their impact. I love John Kirkpatrick in general but maybe not so much here.

Some of the great things that Steeleye Span did is take inspiration from writings from all sorts and turned them into incredible arrangements using their own music and traditional tunes. Like this, part of which is from Chapter four of the Song of Solomon. I've loved SS since I first heard them in 1973. Maddy Prior has the best voice ever. If you haven't listen to Silly Sisters, Maddy Prior and June Tabor. Incredible!

Been waiting about 35 years for this to be available again--it haunted me all those years. That fruity tune place *finally* has it. Happy, happy, happy :) Tim Hart never sounded better (RIP Tim). They just don't write love songs like this these days!

Great song, evoking some bitter-sweet memories of the late 70s.
