Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for a Hand in the Snow)

Stairway to Heaven

Recorded 1 July 2025 OLSS, Greenwich.   I know this song as arranged and recorded by Jacqui McShee of Pentangle a song about false love, separation, travelling far away. 

Lyrics
Pentangle 
"Once I Had a Sweetheart"
Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none
Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none
He's gone and left me He's gone and left me
Gone and left me in sorrow to mourn
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see My own darling jewel sat smiling by me
My own darling jewel sat smiling by me
But when I awakened I found it not so But when I awakened I found it not so
My eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed
Eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed
I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain My life I'll venture on watery main My life I'll venture on watery main
I'll set sail of silver and steer toward the sun
I'll set sail of silver and steer toward the sun
And my false love will weep, my false love will weep
False love will weep for me after I'm gone 
After I'm gone, After I'm gone, After I'm gone

Once I Had A Sweetheart
