Such an incredibly romantic song - I live the line 'now my foolish boat is leaning broken lovelorn on your rocks'

At the line "I did all my best to smile" - my heart broke. Several times.

I noticed that the opening sample on "everything but the girl" song "Single" is from this track only slightly pitched. I love it when I finally find the samples :)

This Mortal Coil did a very ethereal version with the wonderful Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins) on vocals. As has been commented below a powerful song both lyrically and tunewise which it would be hard to screw up. This is genius.

i actually prefer the covers (robert plant and didn't this mortal coil do one?). However, i always thought this was an old ballad. In any case, it's amazingly lovely. not sure anyone could screw it up?!

@AWeirdFish; it's originally by Tim, but it's been covered several times (most of which are infamously watered-down and weak when compared to any of Tim's versions). I believe it's his most covered song.

I've only heard this song (Works in Progress version) but I already like him better than his son... must be his voice.
