Hanging on a Star by Nick Drake

This song is ultimately about Nick Drake’s hopelessness and loneliness as the people around him drift away. In that regard it is similar to ‘Things Behind the Sun’, which is also about a disconnection and isolation from people who seem like they may not really care about you.
Hanging on a Star Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why leave me hanging on a star
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
[Verse 2]
And why leave me sailing in a sea
When you hear me so clear
When you hear me so clear
When you hear me so clear
[Verse 3]
And why leave me hanging on a star
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
