Lyrics: 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.

[000mud000]

This guys voice cant match Nicks. Not as good as the original but its not bad. I was expecting it to suck.

[3DDavid06]

Glad to say I learned of this from RadioParadisedotcom and not the drudge of a movie "Blandside" oops I mean well... that's close enough;-) Always dangerous to do re-makes escpecially with something as timeless and perfect as Nick Drake but this? This works...

[takomaskate]

@supperelias Thanks sooooo much for posting all of these! Sensational abum and this is a sensational cover!

[armfarm]

[Sameez2]

This song was originally written and composed by Nick Drake.

[TheShhSecret]

This sends chills up my spine.
