Widow
Echoes of Solitude: Unveiling the Poetic Journey in Clark Datchler's 'Widow'
Lyrics
Looking at you
Observing someone
A newborn Widow
Describing the person as a new widow, possibly metaphorical
(original version: A merry Widow)
(original version: A merry Widow) - Acknowledging an earlier version
I hear the voice
Perceiving a voice
Of solitude
Sensing a feeling of being alone
Hoping one day
Expressing hope for a future reunion
You'll be together
Desiring to be together eventually
If there's a heaven
Contemplating the possibility of an afterlife
If there's a heaven
Repetition for emphasis on the uncertainty of an afterlife
As I watch the tears run down your face
Observing tears on the person's face
I can see the youth that years erased
Recognizing the impact of time on the person's appearance
In a house you used to call your home
Referring to a place that was once a home
Where you sleep alone
Highlighting the solitude of sleeping alone
Letters that speak
Referring to written communication from the past
Of a bygone era
Describing messages from a previous time
Held to your breast
Emphasizing the sentimental value of these letters
And to your heart
Signifying emotional attachment
And out of the door
Symbolizing departure or moving on
The world is waiting
Indicating a transition or new phase
This is the threshold
Referring to a significant point or change
This is the threshold
Reiteration for emphasis on a crucial point
As I watch the tears run down your face
Repeating the observation of tears, emphasizing emotional impact
I can see the youth that years erased
Reiterating the aging process and its effects
In a house you used to call your home
Recalling a place that used to be home
Where you sleep alone
Emphasizing the loneliness of sleeping alone in that place
