lyrics

little fly
the summers play
my thoughtless hand
has brushed away
am i not a fly like you
are you not a man like me

we dance and drink and sing
'til some blind hand
shall brush our wing

if thought is life
and strength and breath
and the want
of thought is death
then am i a happy fly
if i live or if i die

credits
