“Time has told me
You're a rare, rare find,
A troubled cure for a troubled mind.”

Time Has Told Me
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

Time

“The world hums on at its breakneck pace;
People fly in their lifelong race.
For them there's a future to find,
But I think they're leaving me behind.”

Nick Drake

Leaving Me Behind, appeared on Family Tree (2007)

“Safe in the womb of an everlasting night,
You find the darkness can give the brightest light.
Safe in your place deep in the earth,
That's when they'll know what you were really worth.”

Fruit Tree
Song lyrics, Five Leaves Left (1969)

Light , Night

“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From a much outdated style.”
