Robyn Hitchcock - I Saw Nick Drake Lyrics

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
