Way To Blue Lyrics

Artist: Nick Drake
Album: Way To Blue

Don't you have a word to show what may be done
Have you never heard a way to find the sun
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won't you come and say
If you know the way to blue?

Have you seen the land living by the breeze
Can you understand a light among the trees
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Tell us all today
If you know the way to blue?

Look through time and find your rhyme
Tell us what you find
We will wait at your gate
Hoping like the blind.

Can you now recall all that you have known?
Will you never fall
When the light has flown?
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won't you come and say
If you know the way to blue?

I believe this song is all about riding in a submarine in outerspace trying to find the sun

JevesKahn5000, don't you search the meaning of this song out of your soul. It's all inside you, Nick was that kind of songwriter, that kind of guy.

I think this song is too poetic to be taken that literally, Jeeves.

Nah -- it's totally about submarines in outer space.
by LOUIS on 11/8/2011 5:10pm
Are you serious? Do you actually think Nick Drake would actually write a song about submarines in outer space?

Way to be really deep, Jeeves. Way to go.

Awesome

This is the song that helped me win a talent show. :D

It's a fantastic & sadful song about something to revive which has lost in the past

I think Nick was talking to his mother here. She had the same type of personality; I feel like he was asking her how she managed to cope.

I think Jeeves is winding you up people! ;)

Nick is talking about his search for hope where he has none. He calls out to those that are hopeful in the future to give him a reason to live and move on because he doesnt see any

Some really good interpretations from Swarupananda, jaydeebee and Hopeless wanderer here: the three of you together probably is within the bull's eye here! I'm gonna perform this song at The Nick Drake gathering this summer (2014)...

With the video showing a child playing in the water and the camera going under at times, it makes me feel like he is talking about a kid who drowned, and the ''blue'' is metaphorical of the water. Is he talking about himself? Maybe the ''blue'' is by analogy the blues his life was son unfortunately full of...
