Nick Drake - Fly

Back


Please give me a second grace
Please give me a second face
I've fallen far down
The first time around
Now I just sit on the ground in your way

Now if it's time to recompense for what's done
Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun
And the clouds will roll by
And we'll never deny
It's really too hard for to fly.

Please tell me your second name
Please play me your second game
I've fallen so far
For the people you are
I just need your star for a day.

So come, come ride in my my street-car by the bay
For now I must know how fine you are in your way
And the sea sure as I
But she won't need to cry
For it's really too hard for to fly.

"Hey all you Nick Drake Fans; Nicks music is
being promoted and kept alive so beautifully by Three great translators of his music here on
YouTube who I've just discovered.
Check out Davids channel - dw94702. He does the most amazing instrumental version of Nicks - 'Far Leys',
Joe Burton at -joeburton77 does amazing covers
of Nicks songs as well as his own great original music.
And if you want to hear what is probably the
most perfect renditions of Nicks music -checkout -plectrum34" !

Such a beautiful song. Moves me to tears everytime. I love the way the strings and (what sounds like a) harpsicord build up to a crescendo throughout the song.

'Bryter Layter' is my favourite Nick Drake album. Every time I listen to it, it just gets better and better. There's not a mediocre song on there. Not that ND has ever produced anything mediocre in his career, I might add.

he looks like neil in like only two photos. He looks different then his own self in his photos its kind of wild

this guy has inspired me like you would not believe it is so awesome. The fact that he was so humble also makes him forever cool. He also looks like neil young in some of the photos.

On some photographies he looks like Jim Morrison... ;0
