God, I'm so yearning for the countryside since my arrival back. I feel so 'crowded out' by being back at work and indeed working in the city! Argghhh
Anyway on the positive, I received my Nick Drake CD today - Five Leaves Left. Wow,it's sooooo good to listen to his voice and music. He certainly takes me to a nicer, more airy feeling that's for sure and reminds about nature, even if I'm not there in it and even if there's a fair bit of melancholy thrown in to his music too.
I adore the Cello Song - so beautiful and I adore the lyrics. WOW!!!
Strange face, with 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
Where 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 the crest of a wave.
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 your place in the cloud.
Ahh, this should keep me happy this weekend, unless I decide to bugger off again on a little rambling adventure cos I sure as hell feel like it!
