This song was written in 1969 when Richard Thompson was a member of Fairport Convention. The genesis of the song is the tragic tour bus crash on 12th May of that year. The band’s drummer Martin Lamble was killed, as was Richard’s girlfriend, Jeannie Franklyn. The song remained unrecorded until 1974,...
[Verse 1]
O who will remember, o who will be sure
And still feel the silence as close as before?
And was there a season without any rain?
And never, o never, o never again
[Verse 2]
The time for dividing and no one will speak
Of the sadness of hiding and the softness of sleep
Oh will there be nothing of peace till the end?
And never, o never, o never again
[Verse 3]
Old man how you tarry, old man how you weep
Oh the trinkets you carry and the garlands you keep
For the salt tears of lovers and the whispers of friends
Come never, o never, o never again
Never Again was written by Richard Thompson.
Never Again was produced by Richard Thompson & Simon Tassano.
