Five leaves left. Nick Drake.




1. Time has told me.

Time has told me, you're a rare, rare find, a troubled cure for a troubled mind, and time has told me, not to ask for more, someday our ocean will find its shore. So I`ll leave the ways that are making me be what I really don't want to be, leave the ways that are making me love what I really don't want to love.

Time has told me, you came with the dawn, a soul with no footprint, a rose with no thorn, your tears, they tell me, there's really no way of ending your troubles with things you can say, and time will tell you to stay by my side, to keep on trying 'til there's no more to hide. So leave the ways that are making you be what you really don't want to be, leave the ways that are making you love what you really don't want to love.

Time has told me, you're a rare, rare find, a troubled cure for a troubled mind, and time has told me not to ask for more, for some day our ocean will find its shore.


2. River man.

Betty came by on her way, said she had a word to say about things today and fallen leaves, said she hadn't heard the news, hadn't had the time to choose a way to lose, but she believes.

Going to see the river man, going to tell him all I can about the plan for lilac time, if he tells me all he knows about the way his river flows, and all night shows in summertime.

Betty said she prayed today for the sky to blow away, or maybe stay, she wasn't sure, for when she thought of summer rain calling for her mind again, she lost the pain and stayed for more.

Going to see the river man, going to tell him all I can about the ban on feeling free, if he tells me all he knows about the way his river flows, I don't suppose it's meant for me. Oh, how they come and go, oh, how they come and go.


3. Three hours.

Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies hoping to keep the sun from his eyes. East from the city and down to the cave, in search of a master, in search of a slave.

Three hours from London, Jacomo's free, taking his woes down to the sea, in search of a lifetime to tell when he's home, in search of a story that's never been known.

Three hours from speaking, everyone's flown, not wanting to be, seen on their own, three hours is needed to leave from them all, three hours to wonder and three hours to fall.

Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies hoping to keep the sun from his eyes. East from the city and down to the cave, in search of a master, in search of a slave.


4. Way to blue.

Don't you have a word to show what may be done, have you never heard a way to find the sun, tell me all that you may know, show me what you have to show, won't you come and say, if you know the way to blue.

Have you seen the land living by the breeze, can you understand a light among the trees, tell me all that you may know, show me what you have to show, tell us all today, if you know the way to blue.

Look through time and find your rhyme, tell us what you find, we will wait at your gate, hoping like the blind.

Can you now recall all that you have known, will you never fall, when the light has flown? Tell me all that you may know, show me what you have to show, won't you come and say, if you know the way to blue?


5. Day is done.

When the day is done, down to earth then sinks the sun, along with everything that was lost and won, when the day is done. When the day is done, hope so much your race will be all run, then you find you jumped the gun, have to go back where you began, when the day is done.

When the night is cold, some get by but some get old, just to show life's not made of gold, when the night is cold. When the bird has flown, got no-one to call your own, got no place to call your home, when the bird has flown.

When the game's been fought, you speed the ball across the court, lost much sooner than you would have thought, now the game's been fought. When the party's through, seems so very sad for you, didn't do the things you meant to do, now there's no time to start anew, now the party's through.

When the day is done, down to earth then sinks the sun, along with everything that was lost and won, when the day is done.


6. Cello song.

Strange face, with your eyes so pale and sincere, underneath you know well you have nothing to fear, for the dreams that came to you when so young, told of a life where spring is sprung.

You would seem so frail in the cold of the night, when the armies of emotion go out to fight, but while the earth sinks to its grave you sail to the sky on the crest of a wave.

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.


7. The thoughts of Mary Jane.

Who can know the thoughts of Mary Jane, why she flies or goes out in the rain, where she's been and who she's seen in her journey to the stars.

Who can know the reasons for her smile, what are her dreams when they've journeyed for a mile, the way she sings and her brightly colored rings, make her the princess of the sky.

Who can know what happens in her mind, did she come from a strange world and leave her mind behind, her long lost sighs and her brightly colored eyes tell her story to the wind.

Who can know the thoughts of Mary Jane, why she flies or goes out in the rain, where she's been and who she's seen in her journey to the stars.


8. Man in a shed.

Well there was a man who lived in a shed, spent most of his days out of his head, for his shed was rotten let in the rain, said it was enough to drive any man insane, when it rained he felt so bad, when it snowed he felt just simply sad.

Well there was a girl who lived nearby, whenever he saw her he could only simply sigh, but she lived in a house so very big and grand, for him it seemed like some very distant land, so when he called her his shed to mend, she said, I'm sorry you'll just have to find a friend.

Well this story is not so very new but the man is me, yes and the girl is you, so leave your house come into my shed, please stop my world from raining through my head, please don't think I'm not your sort, you'll find that sheds are nicer than you thought.


9. Fruit tree.

Fame is but a fruit tree, so very unsound, it can never flourish till its stalk is in the ground, so men of fame can never find a way till time has flown far from their dying day. Forgotten while you're here, remembered for a while, a much updated ruin from a much outdated style.

Life is but a memory, happened long ago, theatre full of sadness for a long forgotten show, seems so easy just to let it go on by till you stop and wonder why you never wondered why.

Safe in the womb of an everlasting night, you find the darkness can give the brightest light, safe in your place deep in the earth, that's when they'll know what you were really worth. Forgotten while you're here, remembered for a while, a much updated ruin from a much outdated style.

Fame is but a fruit tree, so very unsound, it can never flourish till its stalk is in the ground, so men of fame can never find a way till time has flown far from their dying day.

Fruit tree, fruit tree, no-one knows you but the rain and the air, don't you worry, they'll stand and stare when you're gone, fruit tree, fruit tree, open your eyes to another year, they'll all know that you were here when you're gone.


10. Saturday sun.

Saturday sun came early one morning in a sky so clear and blue, Saturday sun came without warning so no-one knew what to do. Saturday sun brought people and faces that didn't seem much in their day, but when I remember those people and places, they were really too good in their way. In their way, in their way, Saturday sun won't come and see me today.

Think about stories with reason and rhyme, circling through your brain, and think about people in their season and time, returning again and again. And again, and again, and Saturday's sun has turned to Sunday's rain. So Sunday sat in the Saturday sun and wept for a day gone by.

Pink moon. Nick Drake.




1. Pink moon.

I saw it written and I saw it say, pink moon is on its way and none of you stand so tall, pink moon gonna get you all. It's a pink moon, it's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon, pink, pink, pink, pink moon.

I saw it written and I saw it say, pink moon is on its way and none of you stand so tall, pink moon gonna get you all. It's a pink moon, it's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon, pink, pink, pink, pink moon.


2. Place to be.

When I was younger, 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.

And I was green, greener than the hill, where the 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.

And I was strong, strong in the sun, I thought I'd see when day is done, now I'm weaker than the palest blue, oh, so weak in this need for you.


3. Road.

You can say the sun is shining if you really want to, I can see the moon and it seems so clear, you can take the road that takes you to the stars now, I can take a road that'll see me through, I can take a road that'll see me through.

You can take a road that takes you to the stars now, I can take a road that'll see me through, I can take a road that'll see me through, I can take a road that'll see me through.


4. Which will.

Which will you go for, which will you love, which will you choose from, from the stars above. Which will you answer, which will you call, which will you take for, for your one and all, and tell me now which will you love the best.

Which do you dance for, which makes you shine, which will you choose now if you won't choose mine. Which will you hope for, which can it be, which will you take now if you won't take me, and tell now which will you love the best.


5. Horn.

6. Things behind the sun.

Please beware of them that stare, they'll only smile to see you while your time away, and once you've seen what they have been to win the earth just won't seem worth, your night or your day, who'll hear what I say.

Look around you find the ground is not so far from where you are but not too wise, for down below they never grow, they're always tired and charms are hired, from out of their eyes, never surprise. Take your time and you'll be fine snd say a prayer for people there who live on the floor, and if you see what's meant to be don't name the day or try to say it happened before.

Don't be shy you learn to fly and see the sun when day is done, if only you see, just what you are beneath a star that came to stay one rainy day in autumn for free, yes, be what you'll be.

Please beware of them that stare, they'll only smile to see you while your time away, and once you've seen what they have been to win the earth just won't seem worth your night or your day, who'll hear what I say.

Open up the broken cup, let goodly sin and sunshine in, yes that's today. And open wide the hymns you hide, you find renown while people frown at things that you say, but say what you'll say about the farmers and the fun and the things behind the sun, and the people round your head who say everything's been said, and the movement in your brain sends you out into the rain.


7. Know.

Know that I love you, know I don't care, know that I see you, know I'm not there.


8. Parasite.

Lifting the mask from from a local clown, feeling down like him, seeing the light in a station bar and travelling far in sin, sailing downstairs to the northern line watching the shine of the shoes, and hearing the trial of the people there who's to care if they lose. And take a look you may see me on the ground for I am the parasite of this town.

Dancing a jig in a church with chimes, a sign of the times today and hearing no bell from a steeple tall, people all in dismay, falling so far on a silver spoon making the moon for fun and changing a rope for a size too small, people all get hung. Take a look and see me coming through for I am the parasite who travels two by two.

When lifting the mask from a local clown and feeling down like him, and I'm seeing the light in a station bar and travelling far in sin, and I'm sailing downstair to the northern line watching the shine of the shoes, and hearing the trials of the people there, who's to care if they lose. And take a look you may see me on the ground for I am the parasite of this town, and take a look you may see me in the dirt for I am the parasite who hangs from your skirt.


9. Free ride.

I know you, I care too, I see through all of the pictures that you keep on the wall, all of the people that will come to the ball, but hear me calling won't you give me a free ride, hear me calling won't you give me a free ride.

I know too what you do when you're through counting the cattle as they go by the door, keeping a carpet that's so thick on the floor. But hear me calling, won't you give me a free ride, hear me calling, won't you give me a free ride.

I know you, I care too, I see through all of the pictures that you keep on the wall, all of the pictures that you keep on the wall, but hear me calling won't you give me a free ride, hear me calling won't you give me a free ride.


10. Harvest breed.

Falling fast and falling free, you look to find a friend, falling fast and falling free, this could just be the end, falling fast you stop to touch and kiss the flowers that bend, and you're ready now for the harvest breed.


11. From the morning.

A day once dawned, and it was beautiful, a day once dawned from the ground. Then the night she fell and the air was beautiful, the night she fell all around. So look see the days, the endless colored ways and go play the game that you learnt from the morning.

And now we rise, and we are everywhere, and now we rise from the ground. And see she flies, and she is everywhere, see she flies all around. So look see the sights, the endless summer nights and go play the game that you learnt from the morning.
