Place To Be

Nick Drake · Nick Drake: A Treasury [2005]

When I was young, younger than before

I never saw the truth hanging from the door

And now I'm older see it face to face

And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place



And I was green, greener than the hill

Where flowers grew and the sun shone still

Now I'm darker than the deepest sea

Just hand me down, give me a place to be



And I was strong, strong inside

I thought I'd see when day was done

Now I'm weaker than the palest blue

Oh, so weak in this need for you
