Nick Drake - Tired Of Pretending lyrics

You have never tried

To conceal or deny

That this love is my ruin

My peril and trial

All of the promises were nothing but lies

But now that you're here

Why don't you stay for a while

Most of my friends

Fell under your spell

Some fell into heaven

But most fell back in to hell

The beauty forgotten

Like the snow-covered crops in the field

Where the wind knows no mercy

And she howls and she reels

But I'm tired of pretending

Yes I'm tired of pretending

That I still care

I still care

And the smoke curls like a river

To some forgotten land

Floating abandoned the mystery concealed

Like the moonlit shadows

On a snow-covered field

Where the wind knows no mercy

And she howls

And she reels

But I'm tired of pretending

Yes I'm tired of pretending

That I still care

I still care
