Fly Me An Angel

Bonnie Raitt

Transposer:

Intro      x 2 Verse I am an old man   named after my father My brotha was another  child that is grown If dreams were lightning   and thunder desire This old house would’ve burnt down a long time ago Chorus lord wont you send me an angel fly her straight to Montgomery Make her the prettiest thing that I never did see Just give me one damn thing that I can hold on to To believe in this living is just a hard way to go verse 2 When I was a young boy   I had me a lover She wasnt much of a looker   just a free ramblin’soul But that was such a long time ago   and no matter how I try These dreams go back (well they go back like)   a broken-down dam Chorus lord wont you send me an angel fly her straight to Montgomery Make her the prettiest thing that I never did see Just give me one damn thing that I can hold on to To believe in this living is just a hard way to go Solo        verse 3 There’s flies in the kitchenI can hear them a-buzzin’ But I ain’t done nothin’ since I woke up today How the hell can a person go to work in the morning Come home in the evenin’ they got nothin’ to say Chorus lord wont you send me an angel fly her straight to Montgomery Make her the prettiest thing that I never did see Just give me one damn thing that I can hold on to To believe in this living is just a hard way to go To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

La chanson évoque la quête désespérée d'un homme qui aspire à un réconfort, symbolisé par une ange qui pourrait venir embellir sa vie. Il se remémore son passé, se sentant nostalgique et désenchanté par le temps qui passe et les rêves inaccessibles. Au fil des vers, il exprime son besoin de quelque chose de tangible à quoi se raccrocher, face à la dure réalité de l'existence quotidienne. Le contexte reflète une solitude profonde et un désir ardent d'évasion, où le protagoniste se heurte à sa propre insignifiance dans un monde qui semble l'ignorer. C'est une quête d'espoir et de beauté dans un environnement souvent austère.
