Strange facewith your eyes

( written by nick drake )

So pale and sincere



Underneath you know well

Strange facewith your eyes

You have nothing to fear

So pale and sincere

For the dreams that come to you when so young

Underneath you know well

Told of a life

You have nothing to fear

Where spring is sprung

For the dreams that come to you when so young



Told of a life

You would seem so frail

Where spring is sprung

In the cold of the night



When the armies of emotion

You would seem so frail

Go out to fight

In the cold of the night

But while the earth sinks to it's grave

When the armies of emotion

You sail to the sky

Go out to fight

On the crest of a wave

But while the earth sinks to it's grave



You sail to the sky

So forget this cruel world

On the crest of a wave

Where I belong



I'll just sit and wait

So forget this cruel world

And sing my song

Where I belong

And if one day you should see me in the crowd

I'll just sit and wait

Lend a hand and lift me out

And sing my song

To your place in the cloud

And if one day you should see me in the crowd

Lend a hand and lift me out

To your place in the cloud
