I thought I saw Nick Drake

lyrics

I thought I saw Nick Drake

corridors of headlights
tunnel of the soul
symphony of flashlights
more south than every pole
phrases without meaning
words without a heart
only demise forever beaming
this world tears us apart.

and I thought I saw Nick Drake
in a building

my only fault is human
no different shall I weep
I only ever knew the sandman
who stole my every sleep
and the rivers tend to swallow
-its waters fill the void-
all sacred turns to hollow
old man once was a boy.

and I thought I saw Nick Drake
he was smiling

corridors of headlights
the night is digging deep
cornered at the redlight
no different shall I weep
i thought I saw Nick Drake
watch me take me a leap
i’m sure I hear Nick Drake
sing to me as I sleep -

sing to me
sing to me
as I sleep.
