This is yet another powerful and beautiful song. :) It's about a woman who loves her husband "as though he's the last man on Earth". However, instead of encouraging her with her dreams and telling her that he'll help her in any way he can, he tells her he believes that she's crazy for thinking she'll get off the ground, and that only "angels know how to fly". But then later he tells her that he loves her anyway. She puts up with this for quite some time.

Finally he comes home one day and finds a note written to him (probably telling him to get help) and the curtains blowing in the breeze that's coming in the window.

It is my opinion that she did not kill herself (which is, sadly, how many women -- and men, as men are abused as well -- often end violent relationships). Instead, she simply left him and went off somewhere (hopefully to a place where she is encouraged to follow her dreams), which I believe symbolizes the line "Man, you ought to see her fly".
