lyrics

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

Nick Drake - Guitar

notes

"(Nick) wrote songs such as 'Time Of No Reply' and ' I Was Made To Love Magic' at an age when most people feel that no one understands them and that really meaningful communication is impossible ..... a place the majority of us visit, but soon leave. For Nick, though, it became home, and he stayed there far too long."
