nick drake - northern sky

Back


Once he said "If songs were lines / in a conversation / the situation would be fine"

-----------------------------------

NORTHERN SKY :

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.

Wow, i´ve heard like 4-5 songs of this guy for the first time, and everyone is absolutely beautiful. Really emotive artwork considering the tragic story behind.

Wish I could see clearer
start a million dreams to get you nearer.
How long? Because I miss,
the sun and the kiss,
the embrace and the touch,
all we've lost and loved so much.
Never had a chance to say
why good things always go the wrong way.
Lies working hard on me,
no one here to set me free.
The wind in the trees,
the falling of the leaves,
most of all is gone, love hasn't won.
I know I flew too high and I'm too dead to die
and for my efforts and my pride -
its ...... by your side. HD
