Well I wake up in the morning
Look at my clock
It's way past noon time
Now I'm late for work.

Tell me, tell me
What have I done wrong?
Ain't nothing go right with me

Well I wake up in the morning
Look at my clock
It's way past noon time
Now I'm late for work.
Tell me, tell me
What have I done wrong?
Ain't nothing go right with me
Must be I've been smoking too long.

Bird flew by
And wondered, wondered why
She was white
And ought to stay up in the sky
From the air she could wonder
For the reason
What's the point of a year
Or a season

A black eyed dog he called at my door
The black eyed dog he called for more
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog
A black eyed dog.

I'm growing old and I wanna go home

Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand
Who has taken you far from my land
Who has said that my sayings were wrong
And who will say that I stayed much too long?

Clothes of sand have covered yor face
Given you meaning but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea

Come, my baby
Dressed in white
Hey, baby
Won't you stay the night

Cocaine
All around my brain

When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done.

When the day is done
Hope so much your race will be all run
Then you find you jumped the gun

When the day is done
Down to earth then sinks the sun
Along with everything that was lost and won
When the day is done.

When the day is done
Hope so much your race will be all run
Then you find you jumped the gun

OST The Royal Tenenbaums / Семейка Тененбаум, 2001

lease give me a second grace
Please give me a second face
I've fallen far down
The first time around
Now I just sit on the ground in your way

A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night, she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night, she fell all around
So look, see the days
The endless colored ways
And go play the game that you learned

Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till it's stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.

Why leave me hanging on a star?
When you deem me so high
When you deem me so high
When you deem me, so high

Why leave me sailing in a sea?
When you hear me so clear
When you hear me so clear

Do you curse where you come from,
Do you swear in the night
Will it mean much to you
If I treat you right.
Do you like what you're doing,
Would you do it some more
Or will you stop once and wonder
What you're doing it for.

And what will happen in the morning when the world it gets
So crowded that you can't look out the window in the morning.
What will happen in the evening in the forest with the weasel
With the teeth that bite so sharp when you're not looking in the evening.
And all the friends that you once knew are left behind they kept you safe
And so secure amongst the books and all the records of your lifetime.
What will happen
In the morning

And what will happen in the morning when the
world it gets
so crowded that you can`t look out the window in
the morning.

And what will happen in the evening in the forest
with the weasel
with the teeth that bite so sharp when you`re not

I was born to love no one
No one to love me
Only the wind in the long green grass
The frost in a broken tree.

I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic

Well there was a man who lived in a shed
Spent most of his days out of his head
For his shed was rotten let in the rain
Said it was enough to drive any man insane
When it rained
He felt so bad
When it snowed he felt just simply sad.

Mayfair strange in the morning light,
Mayfair strange in the summer night,
Mayfair strangest in the afternoon.
Mayfair stretching far above,
full of fame but lacking love,
Could it be we see the Mayfair moon?

Mayfair strange across the park,

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

I've been a long time that I'm waiting

Lifting the mask from a local clown
Feeling down like him
Seeing the light in a station bar
And travelling far in sin
Sailing downstairs to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes
And hearing the trial of the people there
Who's to care if they lose.

Saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all
And it’s a pink moon

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way

Ник связался с Джоном Вудом в октябре 1971 года, чтобы начать работу над тем, что станет его последней пластинкой. В студию он пришёл около полуночи, держа в руке гитару. Запись альбома заняла две ночи в конце октября 1971 года и в общей сложности — всего четыре часа. В студии присутствовали только Дрейк и Вуд. Во время этих ночных сессий Ник был в глубокой депрессии, за всё время он сказал Вуду только пару слов, а когда тот спросил его, в чём дело, Ник пробубнил что-то невнятное и ушёл.
В журнале Zigzag критик Коннор МакНайт писал:
Ник Дрейк — это артист, который никогда не притворяется. Альбом не оставляет камня на камне от теории, что музыка должна быть эскапистской. Это просто восприятие момента жизни музыкантом, и вы не сможете требовать большего.

лично я сам заворажен этим глубоким, загадочным, грустным, очаровательным альбомом - когда слушаешь, просто тонешь в музыке. альбом длится 28 минут, но больше и не надо вовсе. он считается одним из лучших музыкальных альбомов в истории, находясь в первой сотне.

When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door

Never sing for my supper
I never help my neighbour
Never do what is proper
For my share of labour.

I'm a poor boy
And I'm a rover
Count your coins and

Thoughts of rain at sunset
Clouds of rainbow blue
Thoughts of sun on sand-dunes
Where the seabirds flew
This was our season, and we said it couldn’t end
But my love left with the rain.

Thoughts of leaves in autumn

And now you know my name
But I don't feel the same
But I ain't gonna blame
The rider on the wheel

And I know my song is new
I know it's new for you
I tell you, how it's true

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves.

Said she hadn’t heard the news
Hadn’t had the time to choose
A way to lose

You can say the sun is shining if you really want to
I can see the moon and it seems so clear
You can take the road that takes you to the stars now
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through.

You can take a road that takes you to the stars now
I can take a road that'll see me through

Saturday sun came early one morning
In a sky so clear and blue
Saturday sun came without warning
So no-one knew what to do.
Saturday sun brought people and faces
That didn't seem much in their day
But when I remember those people and places
They were rarely too good in their way.

Deep down in the depths of forgotten dreams
So far away so long ago it seems
The memory comes of a distant beach
Pale sand stretching far from reach
It was then I found my princess of the sand.

As I traced the foam, peebles beneath my feet
I looked behind, I saw this one so sweet

Who can know
The thoughts of Mary jane
Why she flies
Or goes out in the rain
Where she's been
And who she's seen
In her journey to the stars.

Tramp moves on to the end of the street
I listen to the echo of his hobnail feet
For some there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind

The world hurries on at its breakneck pace
People fly by in their lifelong race
For them there's a future to find

Please, beware of them that stare,
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away.
And once you've seen what they have been,
To win the earth just won't seem worth
Your night or your day.
Who'll hear what I say.

Three hours from sundown
Jeremy flies
Hoping to keep
The sun from his eyes
East from the city
And down to the cave
In search of a master
In search of a slave.

Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind.

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
Someday our ocean

Summer was gone and the heat died down
And autumn reached for her golden crown
I looked behind as I heard a sigh
But this was the time of no reply.

The sun went down and the crowd went home
I was left by the roadside all alone
I turned to speak as they went by

This day is the day that we rise or we fall
This night is night that we win or lose all
This time is the time that we wait for awhile
This year is the year that we wait with a smile

If you call, we will follow
If you show us we can tow the line

Voice from the mountain
And a voice from the sea
Voice in my neighbourhood
And a voice calling me.
Tell me my friend my friend
Tell me with love
Where can it end it end
Voice from above.

Don’t you have a word to show what may be done
Have you never heard a way to find the sun
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won’t you come and say
If you know the way to blue?

Have you seen the land living by the breeze

Which will you go for
Which will you love
Which will you choose from
From the stars above
Which will you answer
Which will you call
Which will you take for
For your one and all

Winter is gone
And the leaves are green
Winter is gone
And the leaves turn green
Your innocent face
I wish I never had seen**
Come on, my love
And fare thee well
