Biography:
Nick Drake (Nicholas Rodney Drake, Rangoon, Burma, June 19, 1948 - Tanworth-in-Arden, England, November 25, 1974) was an English folk singer known for his gentle, enigmatic songs and his virtuosic right-hand finger picking technique.
Although he recorded only three albums, critics and fellow musicians hold his work in very high esteem. Drake failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime and had a strong aversion to performing. Since his death, however, Drake's music has gained a significant cult following.

And what will happen in the morning when the world it gets so crowded that you can't
look out the window in

And what will happen in the evening in the forest with the weasel with the teeth that
bite so sharp when

you're not looking in the evening

And all the friends that you once knew are left behind they kept you safe and so secure
amongst the books and
