Nick Drake Phaedra's Meadow lyrics

I was walking through the forest
One cold and dreary morn
My heart sick with jealousy
And memories, I need no more
No, I could never kill a man

But I would do him harm
Knowing that you're there
Lying in his arms
My flesh was ripped and torn
By the bramble and the thorn

I was lost but well prepared
To offer up my soul
Because the greater misery
Is to live with what I know
The moon concealed by April's storm


No bearing I could find
Until I fell into a clearing
And a road I recognized
I was far, far from my home
Further from her smile

Not sure if I would return
Or just lay down and die
As I stood in Phaedra's Meadow
Well, the dawn did break the sky
And from the highest up in heaven
The weaving star fell into my eyes
