Fruit Tree
Nick Drake
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 Forgotten while you're here Remembered for a while A much updated ruin From a much outdated style. Life is but a memory Happened long ago. Theatre full of sadness For a long forgotten show. Seems so easy Just to let it go on by Till you stop and wonder Why you never wondered why. 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. Forgotten while you're here Remembered for a while A much updated ruin From a much outdated style. 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. Fruit tree, fruit tree No-one knows you but the rain and the air. Don't you worry They'll stand and stare when you're gone. Fruit tree, fruit tree Open your eyes to another year. They'll all know That you were here when you're gone.5 star songs 60s acoustic acoustic chill alinda the lost girl in long s Alternative Folk awesome lyrics beautiful brilliant british celebrity chilled vocal close comfort music cry crybeautiful dead musicians depressing depressive dinner party dittaeva dr small jukebox duyster English language essentials favorites favourite Favourites fish fry folk folk rock folklore forgotten classic fruit genius goldione Goranmusik griffin tracks guitar happiness Haruki Murakami have you ever been heart-wrenching hurina hymn i heart oldies Incredible indie indie folk indie rock instrumental introspective ironic lounge lucid lullabies melancholic melancholy Mellow memorylane michal likes good songs moody my own soundtrack Nick Drake Old-Timey perfect plantmusic poignant posthumous star profound psychedelic Rainy Day really good song relax sad Sentimental Sincere singer-songwriter Sleep sleepytime soft songs that jonasrh truly love songs that knock me out songs to get drunk to songwriter stairway to the stars status strings summer wind sundaymusic suositeltu svashta neshta the lovely playlist the sweet playlist used by radiohead watching the stars in the midd we should get laid wise wistful woodwinds
