Poor Mum Lyrics


Poor mum, poor mum
After a lifetime of dreaming
Poor mum, poor mum
Whatever became of your schemingNothing worked out
In the way that you planned
Nothing was quite as you thought
Try very hard not to misunderstand
Joy as it flies
Cannot be caughtPoor mum, Poor mum
Where did you take a wrong turning?
Poor mum, poor mum
Pack up that last little yearningPack it away with the books and the toys
Silent and dumb
Silent and mumGo out and grab at your life
And forget
You are poor, poor..."Mum"

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Mary Lloyd (1916–1993), also known as Molly, was the mother of Nick Drake. In 1934, she met Rodney Drake, and they were married in 1937. Molly gave birth to Nick in 1948. She was an accomplished poet and songwriter. Her poetry is somewhat maudlin but beautiful. Her compositions for piano are marked by the same looping style that characterized her son Nick's guitar work. Her daughter Gabrielle asserts that her mother's work is unquestionably a strong influence on Nick's work.
