About Now Be Thankful

"Now Be Thankful" is a 1970 single by Fairport Convention released by Island Records (WIP 6089, September 1970). The lyrics are by Dave Swarbrick and Richard Thompson When the stone is grown too cold to kneel In crystal waters I'll be bound Cold as stone, weary to the sounds upon the wheelCh: Now be thankful for good things below Now be thankful to your maker For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to knowWhen the fire is grown too fierce to breathe In burning irons I'll be bound Fierce as fire, weary to the sound upon the wheelThough apparently cheerful on the surface, the lyrics can also be taken as referring to the barbarity of life in Medieval times.
