Nick Drake – River Man Lyrics 4 years ago
I think the mention of lilacs and summer rain could allude to T S Eliot's, the Wasteland opening lines, about how cruel the reawakening of hope and feeling can be when we have been numb.
"April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm......"
