Fruit Tree - Nick Drake
Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound
It can never flourish
til its stock is in the ground
So men of fame
Can never find a way
til time has flown
Far from their dying day
Forgotten while you’re here
Remembered for a while
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style
Life is but a memory
Happened long ago
Theater full of sadness
For a long forgotten show
Seems so easy
Just to let it go on by
til you stop and wonder
Why you never wondered
why Safe in the womb
Of an everlasting night
You find the darkness can
Give the brightest light
Safe in your place deep in the earth
That’s when they’ll know
what you were truly worth
Forgotten while you’re here
Remembered for a while
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style
Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound
It can never flourish
til it’s stock is in the ground
So men of fame
Can never find a way
‘til time has flown
Far from their dying day

Fruit tree fruit tree
No one knows you but the rain
and the air
Don’t you worry
They’ll stand and stare when
you’re gone
Fruit tree fruit tree
Open your eyes to another year
They’ll all know
That you were here when you’re gone
