Lyrics

Auld wives lifts

Auld wives lift

Auld wives lifts

A repetition, emphasizing the significance of "Auld wives lift"

How have you got here?

Rhetorical question about someone's arrival

Where do you come from?

Asking about the origin or source of the person

What do you tell?

Questioning what information the person provides


I see his face

Observation of someone's face

I see his face

Repetition for emphasis on the observed face

Carved deep in the stone

Noticing a face carved deeply in stone, possibly a memorial

Another mind you have taken away

Suggesting that the person has taken another's mind


But I swam across the ocean to find your memory

Expressing a significant effort to remember someone

A trace of all you've left behind

Searching for traces of the person's past

And the auld wives swore that you were born to die

Reference to "auld wives" claiming a predetermined fate

Without a child for to call out your name

Suggesting a lack of descendants to carry on the name


Now I call your name

Calling out the person's name

I call your name, but you can't hear me now

Repetition of calling out, but the person can't hear

No, you don't recognise my face

The person doesn't recognize the speaker's face


Who are you?

Rhetorical question questioning the person's identity

Who are you? And why do you call me that?

Repetition of the question, expressing confusion and curiosity

How dare you call me that

An emphatic response to being called by a certain name


But I swam across the ocean to find your memory

Repeating the effort to remember, emphasizing swimming across the ocean

A trace of all you've left behind

Continued search for remnants of the person's existence

And the auld wives swore that you were born to die

Reference to the predetermined fate as sworn by "auld wives"

Without a child for to call out your name

Reiteration of the absence of offspring to call the person's name


But I call your name

Calling out the person's name persistently

I call your name

Repetition of calling the name, emphasizing the urgency

I call your name

Continued repetition of calling the name

I call your name

Intensification of the call, possibly reflecting emotional distress


But I swam across the ocean to find your memory

Reiteration of the effort to find memories of the person

A trace of all you've left behind

Continued search for remnants of the person's existence

And the auld wives swore that you were born to die

Reference to the predetermined fate as sworn by "auld wives"

Without a child for to call out your name

Reiteration of the absence of offspring to call the person's name
