In March 1978, while on holiday with her parents in Cornwall, Sandy Denny was injured in a fall down a staircase. A month after the fall she collapsed at a friend's home; four days later she died in Atkinson Morley Hospital. Her death was ruled to be the result of a traumatic mid-brain haemorrhage. She was buried at Putney Vale Cemetery.

john the gun
My shadow follows me
Wherever I should chance to go
John the Gun did say
If you should chance to meet me
As I wander to and fro
Sad would be your day
My life is mine and the light did shine
Till the guns they did go through me
So now I shall never fall
Ideals of peace are gold which fools have found
Upon the plains of war
I shall destroy them all
Put away your guns of steel
Death comes too soon for all
Your Master He may need you soon
And you must heed His call
I am the master of the games
That you will hardly ever play
So I will teach your sons
And if they should die
Before the evening of their span of days
Why, then they will die young
Condemn me not
For always will I play the game of war
In moonshine or in sun
And if any cross the path I choose to tread
Their chances they are poor
My name is John the Gun

Didn't know it was Sandy dueting with Robert Plant on 'The Battle of Evermore' on Led Zep IV, until today. Thanks Joe.
