I WAS MADE TO LOVE MAGIC

Nick Drake


I was born to love no one
No one to love me
Only the wind in the long green grass
The frost in a broken tree.

I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many many years ago.

I was born to use my eyes
Dream with the sun and the skies
To float away in a lifelong song
In the mist where melody flies.

I was made to love magic...

I was born to sail away
Into a land of forever
Not to be tied to an old stone grave
In your land of never.

I was made to love magic...


Alternate last lines of each chorus:

1. Many many years ago.
2. Many many dreams ago.
3. Many many deaths ago.
