“And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day is done.
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in the need for you.”

Place to Be
Pink Moon (1972)

“Please tell me your second name.
Please play me your second game.
I've fallen so far
For the people you are.
I just need your star for a day.”

Fly
Song lyrics, Bryter Later (1970)

“Fame is but a fruit tree:
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till its stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.
Forgotten while you're here,
Remembered for a while.
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.”

Fruit Tree
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

“When the day is done,
Down to earth then sinks the sun,
Along with everything that was lost and won,
When the day is done.”

Day is Done
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

“Don't be shy you learn to fly.
And see the sun when day is done.
If only you see
Just what you are beneath a star
That came to stay one rainy day
In autumn for free.
Yes, be what you'll be.”

Things Behind the Sun
Pink Moon (1972)
