I Saw Nick Drake

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 oceans"
I saw Nick Drake
And he was fine

And we're in bloom

I saw Nick Drake
As we were carrying the ice togeather
Beneath the glass
I saw his face

The net was scarred
And all the shrubberies of english weather
I saw him pass
Right through this place

And we're in bloom
Yes, we're in bloom

I saw Nick Drake
The habits of a lifetime
Will lay you low
Into your grave

And when you're gone
You take your whole world with you
I saw Nick Drake
I saw him wait

And we're in bloom
Yes, we're in bloom
