Northern Sky Lyrics

Artist: Nick Drake
Album: Way To Blue

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.

Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

by Dave on 8/27/2008 12:18am This song was in the 2002 movie Serendipity.
by melinda on 10/1/2008 11:21am My beautiful precious son Phil aged 31 has just passed away. He played Nick's songs on his guitar to perfection. We played Northern Sky whilst his friends...all surfers...carried his coffin. It was truly beautiful and so uplifting for my soul. It gave me great strength. Bless you Phil wherever you are. Love mumxxxx

by christian on 10/11/2008 12:40am melinda, Nick Drake has always helped me in difficult times. i've never known sadness like you must be feeling. i hope one day your sky can brighten again.
by Evee on 10/31/2008 8:20pm Melinda, Thinking of you and your beloved son, Phil. I'll carry you both in my prayers.
by Matt on 11/14/2008 12:49am So good it is almost impossible. How did he write such songs at such a young age? His soul must have been old and wise. Thanks Nick.
by Dana on 11/17/2008 11:28pm I just discovered Nick Drake and I must say, I have never been so touched by a song. It makes me feel...I don't have words - I tear up.
by nev sorokhaibam on 11/20/2008 2:56am ohhh..this is amazing...never ever listen a song like dis b4....just love to listen over n over n over...
by Plz on 12/11/2008 5:09am Punctuation is the difference between " i let my uncle Jack off the horse, and i let my uncle Jack, off the horse"
by Carly on 1/7/2009 11:00am Great song, using it for the opening of my wedding video. Romantic as anything.
by Lawrence on 1/11/2009 9:45am I have always been wondering who sang this song when I first heard it from "Serendipity". Now, I'm saying myself, why did I let it pass all these years not knowing the songs of Nick Drake. I felt going on a coma and just woke up. since 2000.
by Kathy on 1/13/2009 8:06pm He was incredible. I like to fancy myself a bit of a writer, but I'm terrible at writing songs. Nick Drake writes the songs I always wanted to. I can't fault him for that, though. They're amazing.
by Paul on 2/8/2009 4:55pm so, Stacy and Laura are getting married?? I don't understand anything... well , yes, that Nick's Drake songs are absolutly beautifull.
by dada on 2/12/2009 9:36pm what are nick's other cool songs? this is the only one i know.
by Ben on 2/26/2009 4:00pm The second track of his second album 'Hazey jane II' is my favourite, its one that acctually makes me real happy! But River man is also great, the orchestral movements are fantastic.
by sweetness on 3/9/2009 9:19am "Pink Moon" my favorite by Nick...but then again, they're all good by him...
by Paul M. on 3/19/2009 11:26am My family & friends used this song to close a DVD tribute to me on my 50th Birthday. I`m a huge ND fan & I was in tears.
by Dan on 11/2/2009 11:56am <3 Christy this song is you.
by Sally on 11/16/2009 3:38pm We already have our wedding song but we are going to use these lyrics for our reading. We think they're perfect.
