Cello Song Lyrics

Cover art for Cello Song lyrics by Nick Drake

Here is my take on the 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" This is how he sees most of the people. Carefree and enjoying life and full of hope.

"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"

This is and advice. Save yourself, because things are rather bad.

"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".

He knows he can´t simply "let go". Again, an advice for anyone who wants to listen to it, get away from everything or it wil consume you. And if you can, please, help.
