Till I Gain Control Again
Emmylou Harris's Journey of Resilience: Till I Gain Control Again
Lyrics
Just like the sun over the mountain top
Comparing oneself to the constant and reliable nature of the sun rising over the mountain.
You know I'll always come again
Expressing a commitment to return consistently.
You know I love to spend my morning time
Sharing the enjoyment of spending mornings together.
Like sunlight dancing on your skin
Describing the beauty of sunlight on the skin, suggesting intimacy.
I've never gone so wrong as to telling lies to you
Admitting to never deceiving the partner with lies.
What you've seen is what I've been
Affirming transparency – what the partner sees is the true self.
There is nothing I could hide from you
Acknowledging that there are no secrets hidden from the partner.
You see me better than I can
Recognizing the partner's deep understanding and perception.
Out on the road that lies before me now
Contemplating the uncertain journey ahead.
There are some turns where I will spin
Acknowledging upcoming challenges and unexpected turns.
I only hope that you can hold me now
Expressing a desire for emotional support during difficult times.
Till I can gain control again
Seeking comfort and assurance until regaining control of one's life.
Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
Comparing the partner to a lighthouse, a symbol of guidance and stability.
Landmark the sailor's journeys end
Highlighting the partner's role as a constant and supportive presence.
No matter what sea I've have been sailing on
Stating the commitment to return to the partner regardless of life's challenges.
I'll always roll this way again
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the relationship.
Out on the road that lies before me now
Reiterating the unpredictable nature of the journey ahead.
There are some turns where I will spin
Acknowledging the likelihood of facing difficulties.
I only hope that you can hold me now
Expressing the need for the partner's support during challenging times.
Till I can gain control again
Reiterating the hope for support until regaining control over life's challenges.
