Nick Drake - One Of These Things First

Nick Drake - One Of These Things First

Lyrics:

could have been a sailor, could have been a cook
A real live lover, could have been a book.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be
Here and now
I would be, I should be
But how?
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.

I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more.
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend,
A whole long lifetime could have been the end.
I could be yours so true
I would be, I should be through and through
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.

I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute
A real live giver, could have been a boot.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be even here
I would be, I should be so near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.

Life is a garden,

In which every now and then,

God enters

To pick his most beautiful flower.

Nick Drake could have have been many things first, but he was certainly a beautiful flower first, and his aura and perfume still linger on to this day, in the proverbial garden.

@holdenross Why would anyone want him to die young? He was obviously terrified of dying. Listen to any of his songs. He was terrified. Who cares what people think. If I ever fulfill my dream of becoming a musician, I don't care if Rihanna fans like my music. I just want to live for a long time. Nick's music is among the saddest and most beautiful I have ever heard. When you find music that you identify with, take a look and take it as a warning. But I still see your point. RIP Nick.

Why not show some respect and stop arguing over Nick's death, that's not what he would have wanted.

[GrizzlTooth]

@iwantwatermellon I don't ever want to die

To 5 & 6 comments down from this one------> learn how to spell the word "YOU'RE"  before you call someone dumb, or worse, gay. Morons.

Depression is powerful stuff. I imagine that he just wanted to end the suffering. There is a dignity in that. RIP, gentle soul.

[MissGimmeThatBass]

Thank you Garden State for introducing me to Nick Drake. He's changed my life.

[TsuchiEnkou]

I think Nick knew that he would die young, but his music would out-live him. I think it was his way of living forever and never being forgotten. He will live on through his beautiful music <3
