Outside Lyrics - Nick Drake

Seems the time is near for finding a place outside 

Seems the time is here for holding the window wide 

So I'm going to try 

To open up one eye 

But if the world is too wide 

I'll be home to hide 

Keep it warm inside, if it's strange, outside. 

Seems the time has flown, when we lived inside a cloud 

Seems the time has gone, when nothing we said was out loud 

Going to find a word 

Make myself be heard 

But if the world is too loud 

I'll be home from the crowd 

Keep it soft inside, if it's strange, outside. 

Seems the time has come for banging our feet to the ground 

Seems the time has come to see if the world is round 

Sweep the smoke away 

Reach the earth today 

But if the world is all wrong 

I won't be staying long 

Keep it cool inside, if it's strange, outside.
