Lyrics
To draw a window
To create an image or representation of a window
To build a wing
To construct a wing, possibly symbolizing freedom or aspiration
O' the glory of something
An expression of admiration for something glorious
To believe in
To have faith or trust in something
To look at the window
To observe or contemplate the window
What a sight to see
Describing the window as a remarkable and pleasing sight
A ribbon of bluebirds opens the sky
Imagery of a line of bluebirds creating a beautiful scene in the sky
My love, breathe
An urging or encouragement for a loved one to breathe
To draw a window
Reiteration of the act of drawing a window and building a wing
To build a wing
Continuation of the creative and aspirational theme
O' the glory of something
Expressing awe or admiration for something glorious
To believe in
To have faith or trust in something, repeated from line 4
I long to hear her enlightening laughter
Expressing a strong desire to hear a loved one's laughter
Embody the tongue without words where the mind must kneel to instinct
Describing the embodiment of non-verbal communication and instinct
I lower my head and press myself into a psalm and I ask
Bowing to instinct and immersing oneself in a psalm or sacred song
I call for the eye to see, the hand to leave
Calling for perception and action: seeing with the eye and doing with the hand
To wake, to dream
Expressing a desire to both wake and dream
To look at the window
To gaze at the window, repeated from line 6
What a sight to see
Reiteration of the window as a remarkable and pleasing sight, repeated from line 7
A ribbon of bluebirds opens the sky
Imagery of a line of bluebirds creating a beautiful scene in the sky, repeated from line 8
My love, my sweet, breathe
An endearing reference to a loved one and an encouragement to breathe, repeated from line 9
