Temporary Loan
Echoes of a Temporary Love: Edith Frost's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
I sing the blues most every night
I express sorrow through music almost every night.
And I wait for the one I lost
I anticipate the return of the person I lost.
He snuck into my secret files
He secretly accessed my private thoughts and emotions.
And he read my mind
He delved into the depths of my mind.
He belongs to someone
He is committed to someone else.
I know how she spells her name
I know details about his current partner.
I'll consider another day
I'll contemplate facing another day without my beloved.
Without the one I love
Living without the one I love.
Without the one I love
Repetition of the feeling of being without the loved one.
Aloneâ?¦
Expressing solitude and heartache.
He no longer loves me
He no longer has affection for me.
I'm supposed to forget about him
I'm instructed to let go of the memories of him.
I was just a harbor
I served as a temporary refuge, not a lasting love.
A temporary love
Highlighting the transient nature of the love shared.
A temporary love
Reiteration of the temporary nature of the love.
On loanâ?¦
Describing the love as something borrowed or on loan.
I think I know what's on his mind
I believe I understand his thoughts.
And I'll try to be satisfied
I'll attempt to find contentment with what I have.
He sneaks around my secret life
He clandestinely explores my concealed existence.
And he wrote me down
He documented his observations about me.
Someone else will help him
Someone else will assist him now.
I'll pretend to forget the past
I'll pretend to erase the memories of the past.
I'll look for a love that lasts
I'll search for a lasting and enduring love.
A love that never dies
A love that is eternal and unending.
A love that never dies
Reiteration of the desire for a love that never fades.
Aloneâ?¦
Expressing the experience of being alone without love.
