Stand Back
Embracing Farewell: Love's Bittersweet Journey
Lyrics
I would loose you
I am prepared to lose you.
Never wanted to
I never desired or intended for this outcome.
I would stand back and you
I would step back from the situation, and...
Would look out too
...you would also distance yourself, perhaps observing from afar.
I know you will go
I acknowledge and accept that you will leave.
I know you will go
-I know you will go
-I know you will
-Stop your sighing
Advice to stop expressing discontent or sadness.
And your crying
Encouragement to cease tears and sorrow.
All your buying
All the material possessions you acquire...
All your fire
...and the emotional intensity you bring, symbolized by "fire."
Our thrill's gone by
Our excitement or enjoyment has faded away.
While the wind is blowing east
Despite the wind blowing in different directions, the thrill is gone.
Our thrill's gone by
-When the wind is blowing
-The wind is blowing west
The wind symbolizes change, and the thrill is absent even when circumstances shift.
Away hey away
An exclamation, possibly expressing distance or separation.
I will know
Assurance that there will be understanding or realization.
And you know it's gonna be
Anticipation of an upcoming event.
And the way it's gonna feel
Expectation of experiencing a particular emotion.
I know
Personal certainty or knowledge.
How it's gonna be at last
Anticipation of the final outcome or resolution.
