Cello Song Lyrics

Cover art for Cello Song lyrics by Nick Drake

He's singing to himself. He's the strange face in the first verse, looking at his own eyes. He knows he should have nothing to fear by life, but... at night, the armies of emotion come anyway (depression). He can't fight that wave. In the final verse, he withdraws into his music, hoping to be helped by someone's, anyone's, hand.

This song makes me cry.
