I Saw Nick Drake

I saw Nick Drake

At the corner of time and motion

I caught his eye and he caught mine

I said, "You're tall,"

He said, "No taller than tomorrow's oceans"

I saw Nick Drake

And he was fine

And we're in bloom

I saw Nick Drake

As we were carrying the ice togeather

Beneath the glass I saw his face

The net was scarred

And all the shrubberies of english weather

I saw him pass right through this place

And we're in bloom

Yes, we're in bloom

I saw Nick Drake

The habits of a lifetime

Will lay you low

Into your grave

And when you're gone

You take your whole world with you

I saw Nick Drake

I saw him wait

And we're in bloom

Yes, we're in bloom
