NICK DRAKE - Beverley Street lyrics

rate me

A crowded room on Beverley

A party for the rent

You were sitting casually

With a few of your fabulous friends

I asked you what your name was

But you just turned and laughed

Then a little later

I finally caught your eye

And even though you tried so hard

You couldn't hide your smile

I followed you downstairs

And we talked for a long long time

Would you call that love

Who's to say

I don't know much about love

But you're the best I ever had

It wasn't long before you changed

Your phone number to mine

You said that you were movin' in

But you needed a little time

So I kept all your messages

Til you made up your mind

Now the rain is fallin' and the clouds are gathering

And the sun refuse to shine

Your promises and whispered words

Are forever on my mind

And I'm left here smokin' cigarettes

That you left behind

Would you call that love

Who's to say

I don't know much about love

But you're the best I ever had
