about

Inspired by Nick Drake's beautiful, evocative music.

lyrics

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND THE SKY

The leaves were drifting down
when I heard the lonely sound
a barren fruit tree in the wind
that lost its voice that once could sing

And underneath a rosy moon
I knew that you'd be leaving very soon
but you were never meant for me
You were far too rare a thing

You always moved through the world
like a ghost
Darker than ocean
and paler than sky
Like a cup that has broken
you fill me but I lose you
somewhere amongst all the stars
where you shine

I never thought you'd come to stay
an errant star that rainy day
but how was I to ever know
How deep your footprints on my soul

Somewhere between heaven and the sky
I hope you have found the answers why
You dog-eared the pages of my past
I hope you've found calmness and peace at last

And now I wander here alone
beneath a sky so wildly blown
but I can hear you calling me
That cloudy voice I'll always know

You always moved through the world
like a ghost
Darker than ocean
and paler than sky
Like a cup that has broken
you fill me but I lose you
somewhere amongst all the stars
where you shine
