I love my rock music as much as the next guy, but this morning was all about this 1970 classic and one of the best ballads ever written...not even ashamed!
Nick Drake - "Northern Sky" (from the 1970 album, Bryter Layter)
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.
Been a long time that I'm waiting, been a long that I'm blown.
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 till 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.
