8NIGHTS
Winter Nights of Love: A Poetic Journey with Dafna & Cameron Desnoes
Lyrics
The smell of winter air
The sensation of winter's scent in the air.
I see you standing there
Observation of someone's presence.
Covered head to toe in snow
Person described is fully covered in snow.
The snow is glistening
Portrayal of the snow's shimmering quality.
Tea kettle's whistling
Indication of a tea kettle making noise.
Onions sizzling on the stove
Implies cooking onions on the stove.
And I know
A sense of awareness or understanding.
It’s just the start
The beginning of something.
It’s not home
Recognition that a place isn't home but isn't far.
But it’s not very far
Hesitation about potential changes in feelings.
I hope I won’t
Expressing hope not to change feelings.
Have a change heart
Current genuine desire to spend time together for eight nights.
But right now what feels true
Visual and atmospheric details of the scene.
Is I wanna spend all these next eight nights with you
Emphasis on the desire to be with the person.
The candles flickering
Reference to flickering candles.
Your eyes are winter green
Description of the person's eye color.
And I’m here sitting next to you
Physical proximity to the person.
The moon is listening
Noting the moon's presence and attentive nature.
The stars are whispering
Indication of the stars whispering, perhaps a romantic notion.
I’ll hold you 'til the end of June
A commitment to staying close until June.
And I know
Acknowledgment of an impending separation.
We’ll be apart
Fear of potential heartbreak.
There’s a chance
Optimistic transformation of heartbreak into art.
You’ll break my heart
Reiteration of the desire to spend time together.
But I’ll turn it
Emotional certainty about what feels right.
Into a work of art
The comfort found in the presence of the person.
But right now what feels true
Repeat of the desire to spend time together.
Is I wanna spend all these next eight nights with you
Validation of the feelings of togetherness.
And I know
Confirmation of the sense of rightness in the relationship.
What feels so right
Expression of feeling rejuvenated or refreshed.
Is me and you
Confirmation of happiness when together.
Next to candlelight
Symbolism of being illuminated by candlelight.
I feel brand new
Feeling anew when in the person's presence.
When you’re by my side
Emphasizing the comfort of being together.
So right now what feels true
Reiteration of the desire to spend time together.
Is I wanna spend all these next eight nights
Reaffirmation of the desire for closeness.
With you
Final confirmation of the wish to spend time together.
