THREE HOURS
Nick Drake


Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies, hoping to keep the sun from 
his eyes.
East from the city and down to the cave in search of a master, in 
search of a slave.

Three hours from London, Jacomo's free, taking his woes down to the 
sea.
In search of a lifetime to tell when he's home, in search of a story 
that's never been known.

Three hours from speaking, everyone's flown, not wanting to be seen 
on their own.
Three hours is needed to leave from them all, three hours to wonder 
and three hours to fall.

Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies, hoping to keep the sun from 
his eyes.
East from the city and down to the cave in search of a master, in 
search of a slave.
