Speak Low
Whispers of Ephemeral Love
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Advising to speak softly or discreetly when expressing love.
Our summer day withers away
Describing the fleeting nature of a summer day.
Too soon, too soon.
Expressing that the summer day ends too quickly.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Reiterating the advice to speak softly in love.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Comparing the brevity of their moment to ships drifting apart.
We're swept apart too soon.
Feeling separated from the loved one too soon.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Encouraging the partner to speak softly or intimately.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Describing love as a fleeting spark easily lost in darkness.
Too soon, too soon,
Expressing the premature end of love.
I feel wherever I go
Feeling a sense of imminent tomorrow wherever they go.
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
Emphasizing the proximity and inevitability of tomorrow.
And always too soon.
Stating that tomorrow always arrives too soon.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Reflecting on the long duration of time and the briefness of love.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Metaphorically equating love to pure gold and time to a thief.
We're late darling, we're late,
Expressing a sense of lateness or delay in their situation.
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Describing the end of everything as the curtain descends.
Too soon, too soon,
Reiterating that everything ends too soon.
I wait darling, I wait
Expressing a sense of waiting for something more.
Will you speak low to me,
Pleading for the partner to speak softly to them.
Speak love to me and soon.
Asking for the expression of love to come soon.
