The Game We Learnt

A day once dawned
And it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around

So look see the days
The endless coloured ways
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning

And now we rise
And we are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
And see she flies
And she is everywhere
See she flies all around

So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learnt

From the morning

Nick Drake's last album Pink Moon is (as I've mentioned before) my favorite and it is songs like this that make it so beautiful. Nick Drake suffered from insomnia and this was a big part of a lot of his music. The lyrics to From the Morning here show the beauty and pain as he looks in on the "normal" folk who play the game they learnt "from the morning"
