Lyrics
Soothe like the syrup dripping
Soothing, like the slow and sweet flow of syrup.
Season makes its show
The display of seasons and their impact.
I'll take the time it takes to understand you
Willing to invest the necessary time to comprehend someone.
Understand you, understand you slow
Slow process of understanding someone deeply.
Yellow, like Nancy's roses
Yellow, reminiscent of the color of Nancy's roses.
Like all the sweet silks sewn into the stalks
Comparing the sweetness of silk to the beauty of roses.
Yellow, as summer's dying
Yellow, representing the golden light of a dying summer.
A golden light like I've never seen before
A unique and intense golden light never witnessed before.
Who could fight a war with a thin veil like this?
Questioning the possibility of fighting a war with fragility.
Catching, helping, healing
Actions of catching, helping, and healing.
Holding calms your mind
The calming effect of holding on to someone.
Sighs and cries and laughter
Expressing a range of emotions - sighs, cries, and laughter.
You'll listen for nothing for nothing
Listening without expecting anything in return.
For nothing at all
Emphasizing the value of listening for its own sake.
Yellow, like Nancy's roses
Reiteration of the yellow color associated with Nancy's roses.
Like all the sweet silks sewn into the stalks
Comparing the sweetness of silk to the beauty of roses once again.
Yellow, moving a blue sky
Yellow, creating a vivid picture of a blue sky in motion.
With flocks of birds and the fables known for free
Imagery of a vibrant scene with birds and known fables.
Tell me all you see through a thin veil like this
Asking for a detailed description through a metaphorical thin veil.
I've watched you before I knew I was looking
Observing someone without them being aware.
Love's taught me that children laugh for nothing
Love teaching the speaker that children find joy in simple things.
For nothing at all
Highlighting the innocence and joy found in nothingness.
