Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till it's stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till 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From a much outdated style.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.
Theatre full of sadness
For a long forgotten show.
Seems so easy
Just to let it go on by
Till 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.
That's when they'll know what you were really 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From a much outdated style.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
Till it's stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till 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.
Nicholas Rodney Drake, known as Nick Drake, was an English singer-songwriter and guitarist born in 1948. His music, characterized by melancholic melodies and introspective lyrics, primarily falls into the folk-rock genre. Drake released three studio albums during his short career: *Five Leaves Left* (1969), *Bryter Layter* (1970) and *Pink Moon* (1972). Despite an initial lack of commercial success, his work was rediscovered in the 1980s, becoming a cult object among fans of indie and folk music. Drake is remembered for his poetic sensibility, refined guitar technique, and the introverted atmosphere that permeates his songs. Some of his most representative tracks are *Pink Moon*, *Northern Sky* and *Cello Song*. His life was marked by deep melancholy and a sense of alienation, which is reflected in his music. Drake died in 1974 at the age of 26 from an accidental overdose of barbiturates.
