NICK DRAKE - Come In to The Garden lyrics

rate me

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
