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.

There's a moment that I have longed for
A D Bm E
We would meet after all these years
A D Bm E
I can imagine the thrill of it
A G# C#m
For I still think of all our dreams and tears
B7 E
I see flowers and candlelight
D G#m C#m F#m
And a tablecloth checked in red
Bm E A
And we sit holding hands
A D
In our own small world
C#m G#m F#m
And never a word is said
Bm E
For we so often pine for the old love
A D
Kind, tender and true
D E
Often pine for the old love
A D Bm
Rather than find the new
Bm D E Av
Riff:
A, D, E
Now's the moment that I have dreamed of
A D Bm E
Here we are on the fateful day
A D Bm E
Hand in hand
A G#
Not a word is said
C#m F#m
For we haven't got a thing to say
B E
Here we sit in the candlelight
D G#m C#m F#m
Waiting for the thrill to start
Bm E A
With the red checked tablecloth between us
A D F#m
We're twenty million miles apart
Bm E
Oh you should never pine for the old love
Kind, tender and true
Never pine for the old love
Go out and find the new
Hey hey hey
A D
But the world keeps turning
Bm E
Here is something the evening showed
A D Bm E
You go away and you grow away
A G# C#m F#m
And you travel a separate road
B E
You take a dream just to keep you warm
D G#m C#m F#m
As milestones pass you by
Bm E A
But you are a different person
A D F#m
And surprisingly so am I
B E
So you should never pine for the old love
Kind, tender and true
Never pine for the old love
Go out and find the new.
