To The Garden Lyrics - Nick Drake

In the bright red sky 

In the heat of an evening 

When only prisoners sleep 

She said, she couldn't 

Come to the garden 

See an old man weep 

She said, her dreams 

What too far to be thought of 

As scars too wide to view 

She said, she couldn't 

Come to the garden 

See a blind man kneel 

She sailed away 

To a blue horizon 

In floating thoughts she'd sway 

She said, she couldn't 

Come to the garden 

See an old man pray 

She wished them luck 

As they left on their journey 

Maybe she'd join them soon 

But she lost her grip 

At the tip of life's finger 

Went home and worshiped the moon
