When Will My Lover Come Around
Yearning Shadows: A Tale of Love's Absence
Lyrics
When will my lover come around, come around?
Expressing anticipation and longing for the arrival of the lover.
When will my lover come around?
Reiteration of the desire for the lover's return.
I got a feeling she might've skip town
Suspecting that the lover may have left town.
She might had enough of me, said I’m never gonna settle down
Suggesting a possibility that the lover got tired of the speaker's reluctance to settle down.
But I thought she’d be back by now
Expressing disappointment at the lover not returning as expected.
But I’ve been sitting out here on the front steps
Describing the speaker's current location on the front steps.
All afternoon, smoking cigarettes and wondering
Detailing the speaker's activity of smoking cigarettes and contemplating.
When will my lover come around, come around?
Repeating the longing for the lover's return.
When will my lover come around?
Restating the question about the timing of the lover's return.
Let the river run dry, let the mountains fall
Expressing a willingness to endure difficult situations until the lover comes back.
'Cause I'ma be right here 'till she comes back home
Commitment to waiting for the lover despite challenges.
I got a feeling something ain’t right
Expressing a sense that something is wrong or unsettling.
I ain’t heard a word from her and it’s almost midnight
Not receiving any communication from the lover and noting the late hour.
I guess I’ll have to put out that porch light
Contemplating turning off the porch light as a symbolic gesture of acceptance.
So the first thing that she sees is me sitting out here waiting and wondering
Planning to be visible to the lover upon their return.
When will my lover come around, come around?
Reiteration of the central question about the lover's return.
When will my lover come around yeah?
Repeating the question with an added emphasis.
When will my lover come around, come around?
Repeating the anticipation of the lover's return.
When will my lover come around?
Restating the question and expressing a yearning for the lover's arrival.
