Yes, I was smitten by this song the very first time I heard it on British Radio, played, inevitably, by Bob Harris. Sam Baker is an unusual song writer in the nature of what he chooses to write about, and the lyric of this song is of a level that is rarely achieved by any song writer. I see a connection with a very famous poem by Thomas Hardy called During Wind and Rain. It is essentially, it seems to me, the same theme. I have never seen the music for this song, but I have kind of worked it out on the piano. It is remarkably simple. But then, the best songs always are.
