NICK DRAKE

Sweet strings

Plucked with delicate hands

Surgical precision

Soulful expression

Melodic serenade

Haunting vocals

Filled with mortal pain

Few could understand

I do

She chose another

Your fragile maestro mind

Simply snapped from the heartache

Brilliance

Sheer genius

“Pink Moon”

“Things behind the sun”

“River Man”

“Cello Song”

You stir my soul deeply

Rest in peace dear Minstrel

Brothers are we

“So forget this cruel world
where I belong
I'll just sit and wait
And sing my song.
And if one day you should see me in the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me
To your place in the cloud.”
