Déanta - Clothes of sand

Déanta - Clothes of sand (Nick Drake cover)

Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand
Who has taken you far from my land
Who has said that my sayings were wrong
And who will say that I stayed much too long?

Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me.

Does it now seem worth all the colour of skies
To see the earth through painted eyes
To look through panes of shaded glass
See the stains of winters grass.

Can you now return to from where you came
Try to burn your changing name
Or with silver spoons and coloured light
Will you worship moons in winters night.

Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me.

Stunning. I need to get hammered on whisky to forget this song such that I can relive the experience of hearing it for the first time. I think that's why heavy drinking is a trademark of Britain and Ireland.

Only one thing on Earth could top this: Mary and Nick doing a duet. That could never happen and now I have to reach for the bottle again....

I think that Mary has one of the nicest

voices I've ever heard! I love to listen to her sing - especially when I'm a little home sick!

Mary Dillon is the finest irish singer, she is such a gift!

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SONG AND SINGER!!! What an inspiration of otherworldly beauty. I want to play this song over and over and over.. thank you!

@Sistrah Thanks for the comment! Yeah it's Mary. Four songs only available on MP3 so far but all are of Mary's usual high standard. Army Dreamers is especially good!!
