Discover the story of the song > Scarborough Fair – Sarah Brightman

The song is about a woman who wants her former lover to remember her when he goes to Scarborough Fair. She asks him to do three tasks: make her a seamless cambric shirt, find her an acre of land, and reap it with a sickle of leather and gather it all in a bunch of heather. If he completes these tasks, she will consider him to be her true love once again.
