Come Into The Garden - Nick Drake

In the bright red sky

In the heat of an evening

When only prisoners sleep

She said she couldn’t

Come to the garden

See an old man weep

She said her dreams were too far to be thought of

Her scars too wide to heal

She said she couldn’t come to the garden

See a blind man kneel

She sailed away to a blue horizon

In floating thoughts she’d sway

She said she couldn’t come to the garden

See an old man pray

She wished them luck as they left on their journey

Maybe she’d join them soon

But she lost her grip at the tip of life’s fingers

Went home and worshiped the moon
