A Sound Lyrics

A sound can take you where it will
A sound can make your heart stand still
A summer rain that drips from leaf to leaf
Can bring alive again an old forgotten grief
A sound can take you by the hand
To wander in an ancient land of long ago
When we were very young
And still so many songs unsung
The web is woven, the net is cast
The spell is made, oh let it last
When time had never brushed his wing
Said his say, had his fling
A sound when someone says your name
All at once a tiny tongue of flame
Then I cannot speak
I dare not turn around
And yet I know I know I know
It's just a sound.

Mary Lloyd (1916–1993), also known as Molly, was the mother of Nick Drake. In 1934, she met Rodney Drake, and they were married in 1937. Molly gave birth to Nick in 1948.

She was an accomplished poet and songwriter. Her poetry is somewhat maudlin but beautiful. Her compositions for piano are marked by the same looping style that characterized her son Nick's guitar work. Her daughter Gabrielle asserts that her mother's work is unquestionably a strong influence on Nick's work. Read more on Last.fm.
