GRACE GILLESPIE - For Nick Drake

You set your sights on some faraway shores
But it’s all there in your mind, you have all you need and more
And you left me in the basement learning finger-picked guitar
With Joni on the stereo and Bobby in my heart
 
And now I set my sails for a small whitewash house
And I suppose I’ll get to know what domestic life is all about
For I did not learn the poets but they’re burned into my bones
I’m ready for to meet them you can say I’m going home
 
So I howl for Allen Ginsberg
And I cry for Kerouac and Plathe
And for Dickenson and Angelou finally set free
And for Nick I will stand before the sea
Only silence for your sweetest tragedy
 
So I read from your back pages because I know the story well
Suspending my disbelief in your effervescent spells
And Neil on in the background, Alabama have you not learned?
And Peter Green my saviour, heavenly man of the world

So I howl for Allen Ginsberg
And I cry for Kerouac and Plathe
And for Dickenson and Angelou finally set free
And for Nick I will stand before the sea
Only silence for your sweetest tragedy
 
So I tried to live in lyric, I suppose a life like you
Gathering up words and trying to make them stand up tall and true
But poetry’s not dead, I saw her shiver in the draught
Nick I’m sorry they did not listen, you know it nearly broke my heart

Lyrics

I'll choke down here I won't touch the sky 
why you wanna call it, why so blind
 
Tilt back my head until my eyes black out
you've got to sit up, speed up
cause it's over now

Can't get into it
I can't get into it
what you said to me 
I won't give into it

Your heavy palms beat down on me 
Sculpt a shape, a curiosity 

Can’t hurt yourself cause it’s over now

I wanna go until this all dies down 
Can't hurt yourself cause it's over now 
My skin is pale when we talk it out 
Can't hurt yourself cause it's over now

Out pour the words under bitter breath
I asked to breathe but they served me death
Tickle my nerves when I'm under threat
A nightmare that I won't forget 

I wanna go until this all dies down 
Can't hurt yourself cause it's over now 
My skin is pale when we talk it out 
Can't hurt yourself cause it's over now

Can't hurt yourself cause it's over now
I wanna go until this all dies down 
Can't hurt yourself cause it's over now 

What did I tell you?
I blame you 

I can’t get into it
