Letter to Nick Drake
You don't speak directly
But through a needle
I can hear you fine
I feel you within me
A voice of pain
That sounds a lot like mine
What is it that's got you?
I'd like to know
It's got me too
Why did you stop searching?
Did you care
that no ear paid mind to you?
Oh, your beating heart yearned to be free
I suppose the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
And oh, all your dreams were cast into the sea
Now your eyes are haunting me
Tell me about God
Did you know him?
Do you think he cared?
When you fell to pieces
In the end
Could you feel him there?
If I was there beside you
Through those nights
Would you be here today?
I just wish somebody saw you
Like I do
You'd never go away
Oh, your beating heart yearned to be free
I suppose the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
And oh, all your dreams were cast into the sea
Now your eyes are haunting me
You call to me like nobody
Through old guitar strings
A losing fight
One parasite
Now no one hears you
sing
I feel you within me
A voice of pain
That sounds a lot like mine
But through a needle
I can hear you fine
I feel you within me
A voice of pain
That sounds a lot like mine
What is it that's got you?
I'd like to know
It's got me too
Why did you stop searching?
Did you care
that no ear paid mind to you?
Oh, your beating heart yearned to be free
I suppose the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
And oh, all your dreams were cast into the sea
Now your eyes are haunting me
Tell me about God
Did you know him?
Do you think he cared?
When you fell to pieces
In the end
Could you feel him there?
If I was there beside you
Through those nights
Would you be here today?
I just wish somebody saw you
Like I do
You'd never go away
Oh, your beating heart yearned to be free
I suppose the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
And oh, all your dreams were cast into the sea
Now your eyes are haunting me
You call to me like nobody
Through old guitar strings
A losing fight
One parasite
Now no one hears you
sing
I feel you within me
A voice of pain
That sounds a lot like mine
