Mother Dear
Unveiling the Night's Mysterious Encounters
Lyrics
Oh Mother dear
Expressing affection towards the speaker's mother.
What a night this has been
Reflecting on the intense experiences of the night.
I awoke in the light of a vision in white
Describing waking up to a bright vision, possibly a dream.
The prettiest girl that I have ever seen
Admiring a beautiful girl encountered in the vision.
Lately my love, said the lady in white
Quoting the girl expressing her love and desire.
I have watched from afar, but love draws me near
Acknowledging distant observation but feeling drawn by love.
Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear
Inviting the mother to hold hands and join the experience.
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear?
Asking the mother about the potential significance of the experience.
Was it just another dream. in the night?
Pondering whether the vivid encounter was just a dream.
Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady in white
Reporting seeing another figure (in black) with the girl in the vision.
He said his name was death, was he right?
Identifying the figure as death and questioning its validity.
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear?
Repeating the inquiry about the meaning of the encounter.
Was it just another dream in the night?
Reiterating the uncertainty if the experience was just a dream.
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear?
Repeating the question about the potential significance.
Was it just another dream in the night?
Reiterating the uncertainty if it was merely a dream.
Mother dear, what a night this has been
Revisiting the reflection on the intense nature of the night.
It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see?
Expressing emotional coldness by the speaker's side, urging the mother not to cry.
Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear
Pleading with the mother to listen and understand the experience.
Was it just another dream, Mother dear?
Repeating the question about whether the night's events were just a dream.
