Within the fire and out upon the sea
Crazy Man Michael was walking
He met with a raven with eyes black as coals
And shortly they were a-talking

    I recognize the voice. One of my favorites. This version is definitely Sandy Denny.

    I'm getting the Simon Nicol live version here, and although I prefer Sandy this is still wonderful.

    to me-the fact that r.t. could write at such a great song(and others) at such a young age says volumes about his abilities

    just a reminder folks, there are two versions of this song played by last.fm and they both bring people to this page. I like both versions, but the Sandy Denny one is hauntingly beautiful

    I'm pretty sure this is Sandy Denny - this sounds exactly like the album to me.
