Maybe Tomorrow
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Tomorrow's Promises in Heather Nova's Melody
Lyrics
When you touch me, I feel lonely
Feeling a sense of loneliness when touched
I don't know how to let you into me
Uncertainty about how to open up emotionally
It's been coming now for a long time
Anticipation of a feeling or event for an extended period
It's been coming now for a long time
Repetition emphasizing the prolonged nature of the anticipation
Is there some way to reach my Hebrides
Desire for a connection to a distant place (Hebrides)
Burn a light on the headland, lonely seas
Symbolic imagery of lighting a beacon in isolation
We've been rolling on for a long time
Emphasis on the duration of a journey or experience
We've been rolling on for a long time
Reiteration of a prolonged journey or experience
Oh maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Expressing hope for a brighter future ("maybe tomorrow")
Oh maybe the wild rose will be all mine to give you
Desire for a beautiful and untamed love ("wild rose")
Oh maybe soon
Continuation of hopeful anticipation
I've been out on the birdland, got no wings
Sense of being grounded or restricted, lacking freedom
I've been calling the nighthawk, hope she sings
Attempting to communicate with something elusive ("nighthawk")
It's been coming now for a long time
Reiteration of prolonged anticipation or buildup
It's been coming now for a long time
Repetition emphasizing the sustained nature of the buildup
Oh maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Reiteration of hope for a brighter future ("maybe tomorrow")
Oh maybe the wild rose will be all mine to give you
Desire for an untamed and beautiful love to be shared
Oh maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Repetition of hope for a brighter future ("maybe tomorrow")
Oh maybe the wild rose will be all mine to give you
Reiteration of the desire for an untamed and beautiful love
Oh maybe soon, oh maybe soon
Reiteration of hopeful anticipation for a positive change
