Nicholas Rodney Drake
19 June 1948 To 25 November 1974 (aged 26)

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.

Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

  • Last night I had brought my ipod in case they had an ipod dock---and after all that we experienced---all the fears, joy and tears---when I arrived home---I put my ipod back in its dock and pressed shuffle---and of the 776 songs, guess which one comes up first? Northern Sky! Can you possibly believe that? I stood there in total amazement---and I knew right then, as I always intuited, that no matter what, I am going to love you forever....

  • Wow...That is Beautiful! And so perfect...just like you! You are something else! You, WM, brighten my Northern Sky! Xoxo

  • B---"I never felt emotion in the palm of my hand..." The Renaissance forever! The Northern Sky has never shone so brightly or with so much clarity and definition---as Shakespeare wrote in Sonnet 116: "Let me not to the marriage of true minds/Admit impediments---it (love) is an ever-fixed mark/That looks upon tempests and is never shaken/It is the star to every wandering bark (ship)..." Ours is a marriage of two minds, two hearts and two souls--which captured in symbols is 11/11/11...I love you!
