Riverman
l wish l could have known you Nick
and asked you about the River man
and l would have told you
you had a beautiful soul.
l wish l had met you Nick
and we could have sang the River man
because l could see in your eyes
you had more to say.
l wish you could have seen
You were like a gentle breeze
that lost its way in the night
not knowing where it belonged
l wish l could have told you
that l knew You were the River man
and you did belong
and your music did arrive
into our hearts, forever.
Nick Drake, musician and songwriter 1948-1974
