Three Hours

Three hours from sundown Jeremy flies Hoping to keep The sun from his eyes East from the city And down to the cave In search of a master In search of a slave Three hours from London Jacomo's free Taking his woes Down to the sea In search of a lifetime To tell when he's home In search of a story That's never been known Three hours from speaking Everyone's flown Not wanting to be Seen on their own Three hours is needed To leave from them all Three hours to wonder And three hours to fall Three hours from sundown Jeremy flies Hoping to keep the sun from his eyes East from the city And down to the cave In search of a master In search of a slave --- Three Hours - Nick Drake
