My Dear Old Friend
Revisiting Love's Journey: My Dear Old Friend
Lyrics
Remember before
Reflecting on the past
When you told me
Recalling a conversation where a rejection was communicated
That you didn't want me
Not wanting the speaker in the past
Time and time again?
Repeated rejections over time
How is life now without me?
Asking about life after the relationship
Do you think about me
Wondering if the ex-partner thinks about the speaker
My dear old friend?
Addressing the ex-partner as a dear old friend
Moved on
Indicating that the ex-partner moved on
Then went and got married
Getting married, with a hint of fear or hesitation
The thought of it's scary
Expressing concern about the decision to marry
What was holding you back?
Questioning what held the ex-partner back previously
No glamour
No luxurious lifestyle
But boy, did you love me
Acknowledging past love from the ex-partner
It turned you so ugly
Love transforming the ex-partner negatively
Eyes wavering black
Describing the impact with black, wavering eyes
It seemed if nothing was sacred
Suggesting a lack of sacredness in the past relationship
You were broken and naked
Describing the ex-partner as broken and vulnerable
All was all but secure
Security being absent in the past
That's life
Philosophical reflection on life's uncertainties
And look where it led you
Reflecting on where life took the ex-partner
Remember you always said you
Recalling a commitment not to face a certain demise
Wouldn't die by the sword
Appealing for the ex-partner to return
Please come on home, my dear old friend
Expressing a desire to be in the ex-partner's arms forever
Into your arms until the everlasting end
Reiterating the plea for the ex-partner to come home
Please come on home, my dear old friend
Desiring a reunion until the end of time
Into your arms until the everlasting end
Repeating the longing for an everlasting connection
