'cello Song Lyrics by Nick Drake
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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

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

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
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      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      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
