Born Brid… Read Full Bio ↴Bridget St John (b. 1946) is an English singer-songwriter.
Born Bridget Hobbs on the 4th October 1946 in South London, she learnt piano and viola as a child, and guitar while a student at Sheffield University, from which she graduated in 1968. Her "To B. without a Hitch"/"Autumn Lullaby" (1969) was one of the first two singles released by Dandelion Records, John Peel's label. Ask Me No Questions - including the earlier single, and sparingly produced by Peel - was the label's first LP later the same year.
Her second album, the more highly regarded Songs for the Gentle Man, was produced by Ron Geesin, and two more albums followed: Thank You For... (1972), again on Dandelion, and Jumblequeen (1974), on Chrysalis. Commercial success did not follow critical acclaim, and St John lay low for some time, reemerging in the 1990s, and releasing Take the 5ifth in 1996.
Aside from work under her own name, St John has also recorded with Mike Oldfield, Kevin Ayers, and Robin Frederick. There is another recording artist named Bridget St John in Seattle, Washington, USA, who has since changed her stage name to Sweet Punch to avoid confusion.

I love this song so much
TorkGirl8
She sounds like Nico sometimes. I like female singers who sing in a lower register..which is probably why Joan Baez's vocal really grates on me most times...and even though I like early Joni Mitchell, her voice grates on me too sometimes!..but Bridget St. John...my ears love her!! :)

Slender stems are bent and torn
Spindle trees wounded and worn
Blue john and jasper are still to be found
Lying red and yellow lying brown
Wheat and barberry bushes wither
Mistle thrush and the sparrow shiver
Curlews cry curfew, go hide from the wind
Frost will follow your song
As winter begins
Snow in quarries and hollows, drifting
Lives move slowly and feet are shifting
Measuring the rifts for another to sing
Clothed (?) with loving the promise
Of another spring
Crystal cradle of mist and dew
Gently fade and uncover new
Shadows the leaves have laid on the land
Twisting twirling to patterns the sun will blind
Birds returns to the calm of sun streams
Fold their nests in the arms of horn beams
Go run with the lizard go fly with bee
Summer comes and her magic wanders free
BURNUNIT
Here you go..............
Verse 1
Slender stems are bent untorn
Spindle trees were that untorn
Blue John and Jasper are still to be found
Lying red and yellow, lying brown
Verse 2
We'd hung barberry bushes, willow
Mistle thrush and the sparrow shiver
Curlews cry curfew, go hide from her wind
Frost will follow your song, as winter begins
Verse 3
Snow and cirques and hollows drifting
Lies move slowly and feet are shifting
Measuring the riffs for another to sing
Clothed with loving, the promise of another spring
Verse 4
Crystal cradle of mist and dew
Gently fade and uncover new shadows
The leaves have laid on the ground
Twisting, twirling to patterns, the sun will glide
Verse 5
Birds return to the calm of sun streams
For their nests in the arms of holdings
Go run with the lizard, go fly with the bee
Summer comes and her magic wonders free
