Beverley Street Lyrics - Nick Drake

A crowded room on Beverley 

A party for the rent 

You were sitting casually 

With a few of your fabulous friends 

I asked you what your name was 

But you just turned and laughed 

Then a little later 

I finally caught your eye 

And even though you tried so hard 

You couldn't hide your smile 

I followed you downstairs 

And we talked for a long long time 

Would you call that love 

Who's to say 

I don't know much about love 

But you're the best I ever had 

It wasn't long before you changed 

Your phone number to mine 

You said that you were movin' in 

But you needed a little time 

So I kept all your messages 

Til you made up your mind 

Now the rain is fallin' and the clouds are gathering 

And the sun refuse to shine 

Your promises and whispered words 

Are forever on my mind 

And I'm left here smokin' cigarettes 

That you left behind 

Would you call that love 

Who's to say 

I don't know much about love 

But you're the best I ever had
