Nick Drake Strange Meeting, Pt. 2 lyrics

Deep down in the depths of forgotten dreams
So far away, so long ago it seems
The memory comes of a distant beach
But the pale sand stretching far from reach
It was then I found my princess of the sand

As I traced the foam with the pebbles beneath my feet
I looked behind and I saw this one so sweet
She came to me and I saw her in her eyes
The heavy toll of a thousand sighs
I called her my princess of the sand

She stared at me and my mind was in a maze
As we moved along in a summer sea dream haze
She moved her mouth but it made no sound
The message she brought can never be found

But I called her my princess of the sand

One moment we walked with the night breeze in our face
Then I looked, she'd gone, of her presence there was no trace
Where she went or came from who can know
Or she'll ever return to help me know
Who she is, my princess of the sand?

Someday when the summer nights come back
I'll go back to the sea and I'll follow that sand swept track
I'll look around and I'll hope to find
That strange young dream, [Incomprehensible]
I'll call her my princess in the sand
