Love to Tom Paxton for this 'for all time' song which I first heard c 1971 and have adored ever since. John Denver does a nice dramatic cover of this on his album titled after the song.

Golly! Up until today I had no idea that Tom Paxton wrote this touching song! Now I can say I know at least 3 Tom Paxton songs! For years I’ve been singing and playing it in my banjo for the disabled kids I do music with but I never thought about who wrote it! I’ve heard a number of famous people sing the song and all of them are very touching but I love John Denver’s recording the best.
I always think of the Hampton Roads area of VA when I hear this. because that's the way it is right now. I remember when there was countryside there and now it's gone.
