Man In A Shed Lyrics - Five Leaves Left - 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
