Strange Face (Rough mix with Guide vocal, 11th September 1968) Songtext
von Nick Drake

Strange things in your eyes
So pale and sincere
Underneath you know well
You have nothing to fear
For the dreams that came
To you when so young
Told of a life
When spring is sprung


You would seem so frail
In the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion
Go out to fight
But while the earth
Sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On crystal waves

So forget this cruel world
Where I belong
I′ll just sit and wait
And sing my song
And if one day you should see me
In the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me
To the autumn leaves in the clouds
