Spoiler:

Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand
Who has taken you far from my land
Who has said that my sayings were wrong
And who will say that I stayed much too long?

Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me.

Does it now seem worth all the colour of skies
To see the earth through painted eyes
To look through panes of shaded glass
See the stains of winter's grass.

Can you now return to from where you came
Try to burn your changing name
Or with silver spoons and coloured light
Will you worship moons in winter's night.

Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me.

To embed a Youtube clip here at MobileRead place what is after the first "=" sign in the address bar at Youtube for the clip and then place that between [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]. So for example "[YOUTUBE]I27i_-mWBHw&feature=youtu.be[/YOUTUBE]" is what you would use for your song (without the quotation marks). Hope this is of help.

Yes. Mr. Drake was quite the poet and, like all great covers, Deanta makes the song her own while keeping the integrity of the original intact.

Also, thank you for explaining the embedding. Here is another one with lovely lyrics, "The End" by Pearl Jam.
