  • Deep down in the depths of forgotten dreams
    So far away so long ago it seems
    The memory comes of a distant beach
    Pale sand stretching far from reach
    It was then I found my princess of the sand.
    As I traced the foam, peebles beneath my feet
    I looked behind, I saw this one so sweet
    She came to me and I saw in her eyes
    The heavy toll of a thousand eyes
    I called her my princess of the sand.
    She stared at me and my mind was in a maze
    As we moved along in a summer sea-dream haze
    She moved her mouth but there came no sound
    The message she brought can never be found
    But I called her my princess of the sand.
    One moment we walked with the night breeze in our face
    Then I looked, she'd gone. of her presence there was no trace
    Where she went or came from who can know
    Or if she'll ever return to help me know
    Who she is, my princess of the sand.
    Sometime when the summer nights come back
    I'll go back to the sea, follow that sandy track
    I'll look around, hope to find
    That strange young dream, close behind
    I'll call her my princess of the sand.

    Sand seems to be a sometime theme in his songs. Somewhere on the Internet there are home movies of Nick at the beach with his parents when he was only a toddler very very young. Running running all over the sand in and out of the waves looking very happy same face just a smaller little person. I wonder if he looked back on those days fondly..

    Possibly the most haunting song of all time. Nick Drake was pure genius.

    To my ears there is purity, beauty, poetry and calmness beyond any other artist that I have heard. A sublime, unique talent was given to Nick.

      He's one of a kind. He left us the void is huge. No one else can fill it. But all I can hope is that he has found peace. He gave us down here so much peace didn't he???

    I just love the beauty of this song due to the fact that I can feel and relate to this song based on personal experience.
    See, I knew this one girl, who've I've been friends with for almost 10 years, and i could conclude that I don't remember a time when i didn't like her or didn't enjoy her company. But ever since she left my school, she and a few of other friends who also go way back pop in my dreams once in a while.

    A rischio di fare psicologia da 2 soldi questa canzone così dolce e struggente è un racconto meraviglioso sull'incontro dell'uomo con il suo femminile interiore, l'Anima, l'amica, la musa. Anche se si dubita a volte che questa parte ci parli e si mostri, il suo messaggio non andrà mai perso....

    Deep down in the depths of forgotten dreams
    So far away so long ago it seems
    The memory comes of a distant beach
    Pale sand stretching far from reach
    It was then I found my princess of the sand.
    As I traced the foam, pebbles beneath my feet
    I looked behind, I saw this one so sweet
    She came to me and I saw in her eyes
    The heavy toll of a thousand sighs
    I called her my princess of the sand.
    She stared at me and my mind was in a maze
    As we moved along in a summer sea-dream haze

    I'll go back to the sea, follow that sandy track
    I'll look around, and i'll hope to find
