Deep down in the depths of forgotten dreams
So far away so long ago it seems
The memory comes of a distant beach
Pale sand stretching far from reach
It was then I found my princess of the sand.
As I traced the foam, peebles beneath my feet
I looked behind, I saw this one so sweet
She came to me and I saw in her eyes
The heavy toll of a thousand eyes
I called her my princess of the sand.
She stared at me and my mind was in a maze
As we moved along in a summer sea-dream haze
She moved her mouth but there came no sound
The message she brought can never be found
But I called her my princess of the sand.
One moment we walked with the night breeze in our face
Then I looked, she'd gone. of her presence there was no trace
Where she went or came from who can know
Or if she'll ever return to help me know
Who she is, my princess of the sand.
Sometime when the summer nights come back
I'll go back to the sea, follow that sandy track
I'll look around, hope to find
That strange young dream, close behind
I'll call her my princess of the sand.
She came to me and i saw in her eyes
the heavy toll of a thousand sighs
This guy just continues to reveal brilliant songs out of the blue more songs come in more songs, and so many of them are just brilliant and genius and sensitive and unmatched I just can’t believe that this guy wasn’t a huge success even though I don’t think he could’ve stood being a huge success
Never wrote a mediocre song , hes a fucking genius
So haunting yet so beautiful
Haunting, ethereal, ephemeral and otherworldy
this song is always on my mind!
My favourite Nick Drake song , beautiful!
Absolute Gold.
So sad, so beautiful!!!
Sometimes...these Tracks are all I have
Sand... Clothes of sand, Princess of the Sand.... His trip to Morocco must have had quite the impression on him.
Questa canzone mi tocca nel intimo più intimo di me stesso. L'incontro che Nick descrive in questa canzone è con l'Anima, l'Amica, la Compagna celeste che talvolta appare nei sogni o in quello stato limite tra la veglia e il sonno dove tutto sembra così irreale e fantastico. Ma l'amorevole presenza di una guida celeste non è illusione o fantasia ma una realtà, siamo noi imprigionati in un sogno talmente profondo che lo chiamiamo realtà oppure vita di tutti i giorni......
She came to me and I saw in her eyes
The heavy toll of a thousand sighs*
I found this site on the web talking about this, guess it was really wrote by Nick Drake according the text below.
Nick visited Morocco in March 1967 after visiting Aix. CLOTHES OF SAND was recorded in November 1968 so chronologically fits with the Morocco visit being its inspiration. STRANGE MEETING II (written in 1967 or 1968) with its "princess of the sand" character may well have been inspired by the trip too. According to accounts from his co-travellers, it was a drug-filled, memorable trip
Its Nicks song
Sola Sistim is right ... the correct lyrics are: ""the heavy toll of a thousand *SIGHS*"
The heavy toll of a thousand sighs
i think lycrics must be of his, set to what i think must be a tradicional melody
Suban la version donde se le olvida la letra
Does someone know who wrote this song ? Nick Drake mentionned it was not him, but there's no info whatsoever on the web :S
Definitely written by Nick
The guitar sounds a lot like Angie, but a great song from him.
been smoking too long has an unknown author it wasnt actually nick who wrote it its rumoured it was a friend who wrote it
Robin Frederrick wrote been smoking too long, she also wrote Sandy Grey that John Martyn covered on London Conversation
how did he make this 12yr after he passed away
you're the heavy toll of a thousand face palms, it was released posthumously.
Written in 1968
So beautiful , the boy was a fucking genius
