Robyn Hitchcock - I Saw Nick Drake lyrics

I saw Nick Drake
At the corner of time and motion
I caught his eye and he caught mine

I said "you're tall"
He said "no taller than tomorrow's oceans"
I saw Nick Drake and he was fine

And we're in bloom i saw Nick Drake
As we were carrying the ice togeather
Beneath the glass i saw his face

The net was scarred
And all the shrubberies of english weather
I saw him pass right through this place

And we're in bloom yes, we're in bloom

I saw Nick Drake the habit's of a lifetime
Will lay you low into your grave

And when you're gone
You take your whole world with you
I saw Nick Drake i saw him wait

And we're in bloom yes, we're in bloom
