John Martyn's Solid Air - For Nick Drake

John Martyn's Solid Air (written for Nick Drake) - 1978

Solid Air

You've been taking your time

And you've been living on solid air

You've been walking the line

And You've been living on solid air

Don't know what's going wrong inside

And I can tell you that it's hard to hide when you're living on

Solid air.

You've been painting it blue

And you've been looking through solid air

You've been seeing it through

And you've been looking through solid air

Don't know what's going wrong in your mind,

And I can tell you don't like what you find,

When you're moving through

Solid air.

I know you, I love you

And I could be your friend

I could follow you, anywhere

Even through solid air.

You've been stoning it cold

You've been living on solid air

You've been finding that gold

You've been living on solid air

I don't know what's going on inside

I can tell you that it's hard to hide

When you're living on

Solid air, solid air.

You've been getting too deep

You've been living on solid air

You've been missing your sleep

And you've been moving through solid air

I don't know what's going on in your mind

But I know you don't like what you find

When you're moving through

Solid air, solid air.

I know you, I love you

I'll be your friend

I could follow you, anywhere

Even through solid air.

You've been walking your line

You've been walking on solid air

You've been taking your time

But you've been walking on solid air

Don't know what's going wrong inside

But I can tell you that it's hard to hide

When you're living on

Solid air, solid air.

You've been painting it blue,

You've been living on solid air

You've been seeing it through

And you've been living on solid air

I don't know what's going on in your mind

But I can tell you don't like what you find

When your living on

Solid air, solid air.

I know you, I love you

And I'll be your friend

I could follow you, anywhere

Even through solid air.

Ice blue solid air

Nice blue solid air
