Nick Drake Quotes

When the day is done,
Down to earth then sinks the sun,
Along with everything that was lost and won,
When the day is done.

Have you seen the land living by the breeze?
Can you understand the lights upon the trees?
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Tell us all today if you know the way to blue...

Going to see the river man.
Going to tell him all I can
About the ban
On feeling free.<p>If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows,
I don't suppose
It's meant for me.

Going to see the river man,
Going to tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time.
If he tells me all he knows
'Bout the way his river flows,
And all night shows
In summertime.

So I'll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be.
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love.

Time has told me
You're a rare, rare find,
A troubled cure for a troubled mind.

The world hums on at its breakneck pace;
People fly in their lifelong race.
For them there's a future to find,
But I think they're leaving me behind.

I'm growing old and I wanna go home.
I'm growing old and I don't wanna know.
