Mayfair Lyrics - Nick Drake

Mayfair strange in the morning light 

Mayfair strange in the summer night 

Mayfair strangest in the afternoon 

Mayfair stretching far above 

Full of fame but lacking love 

Could it be we see the Mayfair moon? 

Mayfair strange across the park 

In the day or in the dark 

There's no need to walk or even run 

Mayfair faces clean and nice 

But beauty here is cold as ice 

Could it be we see the Mayfair sun? 

Mayfair strange at every hour 

Hidden frowns with mystic power 

Starry heights and golden throne 

Down below you're on your own 

Mayfair strange for passers-by 

Sights of wonder for the eye 

Could it be that they'll pass by again? 

Mayfair calling far and near 

For even trees are wealthy here 

Could it be we hear the Mayfair rain?
