NICK DRAKE
- Place To Be Lyrics / with translationsWhen I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you
