Alexandra Elene MacLean Denny (6 January 1947 – 21 April 1978) — known as Sandy Denny — was an English singer and songwriter, perhaps best known as the lead singer for the folk rock band Fairport Convention. She has been described as "the pre-eminent British folk rock singer".
After briefly working with British folk band the Strawbs, Denny joined Fairport Convention in 1968, remaining with that band until the end of 1969. She formed the short-lived band Fotheringay in 1970, releasing one album with them (another unreleased album surfaced over thirty years later), before focusing on a solo career. Between 1971 and 1977, Denny released four solo albums: The North Star Grassman and the Ravens, Sandy, Like an Old Fashioned Waltz, and Rendezvous. She is also noted as the only guest vocalist on a Led Zeppelin studio album, when she shared a duet with Robert Plant for "The Battle of Evermore" on Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album (1971).
Sandy Denny is a 2010 compilation box set of recordings by folk singer Sandy Denny and comprises all studio material and recordings made during her time both as a solo artist and as a member of Fotheringay, Fairport Convention, and other groups, together with home demos and live recordings.

SWEET ROSEMARY

my young man oh he is so fine
sweet Rosemary did say
she gathered flowers and she sang

oh to see my own dear one
and pretty words I'd like to sing

Wondering and waiting, my back agaist the wall Not a word that passed between us comes to recall Just you shadow at the window as you pass on down the hall You never wanted me and never knew me at all I haven't any picture to set before my eyes Nothing I can blame when the blues start to rise Just the memory of laughter and a living out of lies But if I could change my ways we would never have said goodbye If you ever get the time, please think of me It's a lock that can't be broken and there isn't any key I'm only in your mind, only you can set me free You can't hurt me anymore and it isn't hard to see Someday, someone will leave you and I know you'll feel the same But you'll mark it down to memory and a dream that never came But they are no answers given when love is just a game And you never wanted me and now I feel the same
