Nick Drake (Nicholas Rodney Drake, Rangoon, Burma, June 19, 1948 - Tanworth-in-Arden, England, November 25, 1974) was an English folk singer known for his gentle, enigmatic songs and his virtuosic right-hand finger picking technique.
Although he recorded only three albums, critics and fellow musicians hold his work in very high esteem. Drake failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime and had a strong aversion to performing. Since his death, however, Drake's music has gained a significant cult following.

When the night is cold Some get by but some get old Just to show life's not made of gold When the night is cold
When the bird has flown Got no-one to call your own Got no place to call your home When the bird has flown
When the game's been fought You sped the ball across the court Lost much sooner than you would have thought Now the game's been fought
When the party's through Seems so very sad for you Didn't do the things you meant to do Now there's no time to start anew Now the party's through
When the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done
