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 ocean." I saw Nick Drake And he was fine I saw Nick Drake As we were carrying the ice together I saw his face Beneath the glass The net was gone And all the strawberries of English weather I saw him pass Right through this place I saw Nick Drake The habits of a lifetime Will lay you low Into your grave And when you're gone You take the whole world with you I saw Nick Drake I saw him wave And we're in bloom
