Strange Meeting II (Family Tree Version)
[Drake talking]
Well I got a song out there recently
Which means I'm likely to forget the words
[Verse 1]
Deep down in the depths of forgotten dreams
So far away so long ago it seems
The memory comes of a distant beach
With the pale sand stretching far from reach
It was then I found my princess of the sand
[Verse 2]
As I traced the foam with the pebbles beneath my feet
I looked behind and I saw this one so sweet
She came to me and I saw in her eyes
The heavy toll of a thousand sighs
I called her my princess of the sand
[Verse 3]
She stared at me and my mind was in a maze
As we moved along in a summer sea-dream haze (laughing)
She moved her mouth but it made no sound
The message she brought can never be found
But I called her my princess in the sand
[Verse 4]
One moment we walked with the night breeze in our face
Then I looked, she'd gone of her presence there was no trace
Where she went or came from who can know
Or if she'll ever return to help me know
Who she is, my princess of the sand
Someday when the summer nights come back
I'll go back to the sea and I'll follow that sandy track
I'll look around, and I'll hope to find
That strange young dream, (murmur)
I'll call her my princess in the sand
[Drake talking]
As I thought I got the words
[Someone talking]
You alright then
[Drake talking]
Yeah
Yes I do actually that's my that's my surrealist song
It's crazy I don't know it's sort of funny dream
