I cant tell you how much I love this song and how well it goes with storm Timelapse vides. It's so surreal how there is not one video of him playing, but it kind of suites the magical quality of his music. This song is a masterpiece, not just his voice and guitar...the strings and especially the sax. Incredible
*A city freeze* *Get on your knees* *Pray for warmth and green paper.* *A city drought* *You're down and out* *See your trousers don't taper.* *Saddle up* *Kick your feet* *Ride the range of a London street* *Travel to a local plane* *Turn around and come back again.* *And at the chime of the city clock* *Put up your road block* *Hang on to your crown.* *For a stone in a tin can* *Is wealth to the city man* *Who leaves his armor down.* *Stay indoors* *Beneath the floors* *Talk with neighbors only.* *The games you play* *Make people say* *You're either weird or lonely.* *A city star* *Won't shine too far* *On account of the way you are* *And the beads* *Around your face* *Make you sure to fit back in place.* *And at the beat of the city drum* *See how your friends come* *in twos; or threes or more.* *For the sound of a busy place* *Is fine for a pretty face* *-who knows what a face is for.* *The city clown will soon fall down* *Without a face to hide in* *And he will lose if he won't choose* *The one he may confide in* *Sonny boy with smokes for sale* *Went to ground with a face so pale* *And never heard about the change* *Showed his hand and fell out of range* *In the light of a city square* *Find out the face that's fair* *Keep it by your side* *When the light of the city falls* *You fly to the city walls* *Take off with your bride* *-but at the chime of the city clock* *Put up your road block* *Hang on to your crown.* *For a stone in a tin can* *Is wealth to the city man* *Who leaves his armor down.*
The Lyrics .... The guitar .... The Strings .... The Voice .... and then that sax comes in ! ..... Bliss.
Not bliss, perfect
Heartbreaking on so many levels... Nick's sense of isolation is palpable here. So terribly sad.

Just about Nick Drakes finest song. Remarkable.
What a beautiful video. Thank you for this edit.
I absolutely love Nick Drake 💜
Sorry but I love him more . :)
Thank you for the music, hauntingly relaxing yet vibrant.
*A city freeze*
*Get on your knees*
*Pray for warmth and green paper.*
*A city drought*
*You're down and out*
*See your trousers don't taper.*
*Saddle up*
*Kick your feet*
*Ride the range of a London street*
*Travel to a local plane*
*Turn around and come back again.*
*And at the chime of the city clock*
*Put up your road block*
*Hang on to your crown.*
*For a stone in a tin can*
*Is wealth to the city man*
*Who leaves his armor down.*
*Stay indoors*
*Beneath the floors*
*Talk with neighbors only.*
*The games you play*
*Make people say*
*You're either weird or lonely.*
*A city star*
*Won't shine too far*
*On account of the way you are*
*And the beads*
*Around your face*
*Make you sure to fit back in place.*
*And at the beat of the city drum*
*See how your friends come*
*in twos; or threes or more.*
*For the sound of a busy place*
*Is fine for a pretty face*
*-who knows what a face is for.*
*The city clown will soon fall down*
*Without a face to hide in*
*And he will lose if he won't choose*
*The one he may confide in*
*Sonny boy with smokes for sale*
*Went to ground with a face so pale*
*And never heard about the change*
*Showed his hand and fell out of range*
*In the light of a city square*
*Find out the face that's fair*
*Keep it by your side*
*When the light of the city falls*
*You fly to the city walls*
*Take off with your bride*
*-but at the chime of the city clock*
*Put up your road block*
*Hang on to your crown.*
*For a stone in a tin can*
*Is wealth to the city man*
*Who leaves his armor down.*
