Strange Meeting II - Nick Drake

作词：Nick Drake

作曲：Nick Drake

Deep down in the depths of forgotten dreams

So far away so long ago it seems

The memory comes of a distant beach

But the paling sand stretching far from reach

It was then I found my princess of the sand

As I traced the foam with peebles beneath my feet

I looked behind and I saw this one so sweet

She came to me and I saw in her eyes

A heavy toll of a thousand sighs

I called her my princess of the sand

She stared at me and my mind was in a maze

As we moved along in a summer sea dream haze

She moved her mouth but it made no sound

The message she brought can never be found

But I called her my princess in the sand

One moment we walked with the night breeze

In our face

Then I looked she'd gone

Of her presence there was no trace

Where she went or came from

Who can know

She'll ever return to help me know

Who she is my princess of the sand

Someday when a summer nights come back

I'll go back to the sea

And I follow that sands with track

I'll look around and I hope to find

That strange young dream

I'll call her my princess in the sand
