尼克的首张唱片，1969年，孤岛唱片。标题暗示英国Rizla卷烟纸，
A possible source for the title is quoted by Patrick Humphries in his Nick Drake biography.
It's an excerpt from a novel, 'The Last Leaf', written by American writer O. Henry around the turn of the century. A young painter is dying of pneumonia, and what keeps her alive is the ivy growing in the yard outside:
从Patrick Humphries为nick的传记里，可以找到取这个标题的缘由－－－小说《最后一片叶》的摘录，美国作家欧.亨利。一个垂死于肺炎的年青画家，支撑他生命的仅是他院子外的常春藤。
"'They're falling faster now. Three days ago there was almost a hundred. It made my head ache to count them. But now it's easy. There goes another one. There are only five left now.'
'Five what, dear?...'
'Leaves. On the ivy vine. When the last one falls I must go too'" (Humphries, p. 93)
“现在掉的更快了，三天前还有百来片。为他们计数可真让我头疼。现在简单了......又掉了一片，只剩下五片了。”
"五片什么？亲爱的！“
”常春藤上的叶子，当最后一片飘落的时候我也要去了“(Humphries, Page. 93)
