Time and The River
Eternal Longing by the River: A Love's Patient Odyssey
Lyrics
Time and the river
Reflecting on the passage of time and the constant flow of the river
Will bring my love to me
Expressing hope that time and the river will eventually reunite the speaker with their love
If I must, I'll wait forever
Willingness to wait indefinitely for the reunion, emphasizing enduring love
By the river that took her to the sea
Referring to the river that took the speaker's love away to the sea
Here by the river
Reminiscing about moments shared by the river, including love, laughter, and tears
We loved, we laughed, we cried
Highlighting the depth of emotions experienced in the past by the river
But with time
Acknowledging the impact of time on the relationship
My love, my darling
Expressing endearment to the departed love
Left my arms and was gone with the tide
Describing the departure of the speaker's love, carried away by the tide
How long I've been lonely
Conveying the speaker's enduring loneliness and yearning for the lost love
Star of love
Referring to the departed love as the guiding "Star of Love"
Shine bright
Asking for the love to shine brightly in the speaker's life
I need her
Expressing the speaker's need for the departed love
Oh, lead her
Urging the love to be led back to the speaker's arms
To my arms tonight
Requesting the reunion with the love on the current night
Time and the river
Reiterating the theme of the relentless passage of time and the river's flow
How swiftly they go by
Reflecting on the speed with which time and the river move forward
But my arms will be for no other
Declaring the speaker's commitment to wait for the love and not embrace another
Till time stands still
Expressing the desire for time to stop and the river to cease flowing until the reunion
And the river runs dry
Visualizing a scenario where time stands still, and the river runs dry, indicating the eternal nature of the speaker's commitment
Time and the river
Repeating the contemplation of time and the river's swift passage
How swiftly they go by
Reiterating the idea of the swift movement of time and the river
But my arms will be for no other
Reaffirming the speaker's exclusivity in reserving their arms for the departed love
Till time stands still
Expressing the hope for a timeless and enduring love until the river ceases to flow
And the river runs dry
Concluding with the desire for a love that lasts until time stands still and the river runs dry
