Biography:
Mary Lloyd (1916–1993), also known as Molly, was the mother of Nick Drake. In 1934, she met Rodney Drake, and they were married in 1937. Molly gave birth to Nick in 1948.
She was an accomplished poet and songwriter. Her poetry is somewhat maudlin but beautiful. Her compositions for piano are marked by the same looping style that characterized her son Nick's guitar work. Her daughter Gabrielle asserts that her mother's work is unquestionably a strong influence on Nick's work.

This is a half step up from the album version, because the day I made it it out youtube
was being weird and playing a half step down. maybe someday I will change it.
if you can see the strong and wearied starlight
Eb Ab Bb
riding on mountains of the night astride
Cm Ab Bb
and as you stand alone within the breathing darkness
Cm D Gm Cm
ill be at your side
Bb F
if you can look
Eb
on this unchanging sunlight
Ab Bb
one second fully when the day is new
Cm Ab Bb
and as the burning coin dazzles beneath your eyelids
Cm D Gm Cm
i shall look at you
Bb F
and if you can run
Eb Cm
where wind may beat about you
Gm Bb
out on the hill where shadows race
Cm F G
touching grass, touching trees
Gm Eb Dm Cm
and the edge of water
Cm
i shall touch
F
your face
Bb
though all the lands of heaven and earth divide us
Eb Ab Bb
though distance is a dark unbroken tether
Cm Ab Bb
if you can walk within the same remembered music
Cm Gm Cm Gm
we can walk, we can walk
Cm F
together
Eb
