It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming

It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming
Jan; this song is beautiful in its confusion and indecision, and so sad also. “Lilac time” infers so much. I know from may friends who have endured profound depression that Spring is a particularly tough time for many of them. Did this beautiful young man commit suicide in the Springtime?
Oops, Jan – posted this under the wrong song! Above comment is for “She wasn’t sure”….
Yes, spring is a dificult time, but Nick Drake commited suicide on November 25, 1974.
Thanks – the lyrics to this brilliant song are printing right now.
