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
