Going to see the river man, Going to tell him all I can Abo… - Nick Drake

" "
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.

Additional quotes by Nick Drake

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

Fame is but a fruit tree:
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till its stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.
Forgotten while you're here,
Remembered for a while.
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.
