Strange Meeting Ii Lyrics - Nick Drake

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, pebbles 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
