She was the mother of Nick Drake. In 1934, she met Rodney Drake, and they were married in 1937. Molly gave birth to Nick in 1948.

Her poetry is somewhat maudlin but beautiful. Her compositions for piano are marked by the same looping style that characterized her son Nick's guitar work. Her daughter Gabrielle asserts that her mother's work is unquestionably a strong influence on Nick's work.

Music from an open window
Music sudden, fleeting
Music from an open window
Music sudden, fleeting
Music from an open window
Music sudden, and fleeting

Ordinary music in an ordinary street
Why does your heart start beating
What can a song do to you?
Can it wake any memory sleeping
Can it call back a day when your heart fled away into somebody else's keeping

What can a song do to you?
Can it bring back a spring in December
Can it make with each note such an ache in your throat
And you find you can still remember

For the past is a house full of treasure
The lies buried deep in the store
Every smile, every tear, every pleasure
And a song is the key to the door

Music from an open window
Music sudden, fleeting
Music from an open window
Music sudden, fleeting
What can a song do to you
Can it kindle a flame that was dying
Til it burns once again with its joy, with its pain
And your heart's of a sudden crying
Oh I know, yes I know, now I see
What a song has done to me
