Mayfair - Nick Drake

Mayfair strange in the morning light

Mayfair strange in the summer night

Mayfair strangest in the afternoon

Mayfair stretching far above

Full of fame but lacking love

Could it be we see the Mayfair moon?

Mayfair strange across the park

In the day or in the dark

There’s no need to walk or even run

Mayfair faces clean and nice

But beauty here is cold as ice

Could it be we see the Mayfair sun?

Mayfair strange at every hour

Hidden frowns with mystic power

Starry heights and golden throne

Down below you’re on you’re own

Mayfair strange for passers-by

Sights of wonder for the eye

Could it be they’ll pass by again?

Mayfair calling far and near

For even trees are wealthy here

Could it be we hear the Mayfair rain?
