Fly Lyrics

Cover art for Fly lyrics by Nick Drake

Beautiful song about missed opportunities, longing for second chances. I see this as an optimistic song from Nick, as he seems to be yearning for an opportunity to get to know someone he knows little about, a relationship that ended before they really began to understand the intracacies of one another. The optimism stems from the vividness of the dreams Nick envsions; in this dream the sun is out and the clouds roll by as he learns to embrace the opportunities that the unknown provide.
