Nick DrakeAbout
‘Place to Be’ is the second track off “Pink Moon” – Nick Drake’s 1972 record, his third and last album.
It tells the story of a man looking back on his youth and days of the past that were unburdened with the realities of the world.
It was a world, it seems, in which Nick Drake found it difficult...
Place to Be Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
[Verse 2]
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grew and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
[Verse 3]
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh so weak in this need for you
