The Books featuring Jose Gonzales - Cello Song

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.

@TrentDaley149 You just judged me and called me a bitch because I didn't like a song. So who is the lesser person?

[TrentDaley149]

@bamboobangin dont be a bitch, you cant judge a song based on who did it first

Thank you, Jim Povolo, for introducing me to The Books.

This is great, two of my favourite artists covering one of my favourite artists. All thats missing is Elliott Smith then it would be even better!

Some covers are just better than the original.. This is one of those.... Siiigh

I had to dislike. My love for Nick Drake is so strong I couldn't stand to hear anyone cover this song.
