Come Wander With Me
Wander into Love's Melancholy Embrace
Lyrics
He said
Expresses a prior statement or conversation.
Come wander with me, Love
Invitation to accompany the speaker on a journey.
Come wander with me
Reiteration of the invitation to wander together.
Away from this sad world
Encouragement to leave the current sorrowful world.
Come wander with me
Repetition of the call to embark on a journey together.
He came from the sunset
Introduction of a character arriving from a picturesque sunset.
He came from the sea
Originating from the sea, suggesting a mysterious or romantic figure.
He came from my sorrow
Connecting the arrival with the speaker's sorrow.
And can love only me
Claiming the wanderer's exclusive love for the speaker.
Oh where is the wanderer
Questioning the whereabouts of the wanderer.
Who wandered this way
Describing the wanderer's past journey in this direction.
He's passed on his wandering
Indicating the end of the wanderer's travels.
And will never go away
Asserting the wanderer's eternal presence despite physical absence.
He sang of a sweet love
Describing the wanderer's songs about a sweet love and dreams.
Of dreams that would be
Emphasizing the dreams that the wanderer envisioned.
But I was sworn to another
Revealing a conflict, as the speaker is committed to another.
And could never be free
Expressing the speaker's inability to be free due to existing commitments.
