Rider on the Wheel

Nicholas Rodney "Nick" Drake (19 June 1948 – 25 November 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician, known for his gentle guitar-based songs. He failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime but his work has gradually achieved wider notice and recognition. Drake signed to Island Records when he was 20 years old and a student at the University of Cambridge, and released his debut album, Five Leaves Left, in 1969. By 1972, he had recorded two more albums—Bryter Layter and Pink Moon. Neither sold more than 5,000 copies on initial release. Drake's reluctance to perform live, or be interviewed, contributed to his lack of commercial success. more »

And now you know my name
But I don't feel the same
But I ain't gonna blame
The rider on the wheel

And I know my song is new
I know it's new for you
I tell you, how it's true
For the rider on the wheel

And round and round we go
We take it, fast and slow
I must keep up a show
For the rider on the wheel
For the rider on the wheel

Know my name
But I don't feel the same
But I ain't gonna blame
The rider on the wheel
The rider on the wheel
