Man in a Shed - Nick Drake

Well there was a man who lived in a shed

Spent most of his days out of his head

For his shed was rotten let in the rain

Said it was enough to drive any man insane

When it rained

He felt so bad

When it snowed he felt just simply sad.

Well there was a girl who lived nearby

Whenever he saw her he could only simply sigh

But she lived in a house so very big and grand

For him it seemed like some very distant land

So when he called her

His shed to mend,

She said I’m sorry you’ll just have to find a friend.

Well this story is not so very new

But the man is me, yes and the girl is you

So leave your house come into my shed

Please stop my world from raining through my head

Please don’t think

I’m not your sort

You’ll find that sheds are nicer than you thought.
