Lyrics
Prelude Dark, Lonely life Still burning bright No matter what they say We will remember you
Verse 1 You were a one for singing So deep and blue Always melancholic Tell me, why was it you
Verse 2 A girl you'd never marry But she was deep inside of you Or was it just a mirage To help you stay so blue
Bridge We knew a secret feeling Same one as you You laugh because we hurry But, look at what became of you You died, we knew it would happen My Nicky Blue
Verse 3 And when you sang, the mood was magic Stark images and desolation At times too hard to handle At times hope for a few
Verse 4 Spring comes into the summer lost love and an empty heart I sing a song of sorrow Yeah, you can sing it too You sing it true My Nicky Blue

Oh a prelude - it really sets the mood for the song and is beautifully done. This song is so gorgeously sad and very compelling. Lovely vocals and harmonies too. Excellent guitar playing as always! Is this an ode to Nick Drake and a nod to the album Way To Blue? Totally getting those Nick Drake vibes.
A song of sorrow ā¦ so beautifully performed! So very gentle and delicate vocals and guitar here! I mostly love the prelude! Enjoyed this very much!
