Bluebird
Yearning in the Night: Helen Reddy's Bluebird Tale
Lyrics
Yeah I'm lost in the night
Expressing a sense of being lost or disoriented in the darkness of the night.
The icy wind is howling out your name
The chilling wind carries the sound of the person's name, creating a haunting atmosphere.
Desolation lingers like a fog
A feeling of emptiness and loneliness persists, akin to a lingering fog of desolation.
The fire is growing dimmer in the wind
The warmth and vitality symbolized by the fire are diminishing in the face of challenges.
I'm out in the rain
Being exposed to difficulties, represented metaphorically as being out in the rain.
The moon has gone behind the cloud again
The moon disappearing behind clouds suggests a loss of clarity or guidance.
And I can't stand to live another day
An overwhelming desire to escape the current painful existence.
Cause my bluebird went away
Expressing the emotional impact of losing a significant other, referred to as a "bluebird."
And I'm locked in this room with my sorrow
Feeling trapped in a space filled with sorrow and unable to break free.
No escape no way to get away
A sense of hopelessness and inability to find a way out of the emotional turmoil.
And my only connection with tomorrow
The only connection to the future lies in the hope that the departed might return.
Is hoping that you might decide to not stay away
The speaker is relying on the possibility that the absence will not be permanent.
Oh, I'm out on a limb
A metaphorical expression of being in a precarious situation or facing a challenge.
If I could only find sweet love again
An earnest desire to experience love again, contrasting with the current emotional state.
And I can't stand to live another day
Reiteration of the difficulty in facing another day without the bluebird.
Can't find my bluebird anywhere anywhere anywhere
The inability to locate or find solace in the absence of the bluebird is emphasized.
Oh I'm lost in the night
A repetition of the sense of being lost in the night, reinforcing the emotional turmoil.
The icy wind is howling out your name
The cold wind continues to evoke the presence of the departed person.
And I can't stand to live another day
A strong aversion to facing another day without the bluebird's presence.
Bluebird why did you go away
A direct plea or question directed at the bluebird, questioning the reason for departure.
Bluebird why did you go away
A repetition of the plea, perhaps emphasizing the emotional impact of the departure.
Oh, little bluebird, why did you go away
A tender address to the bluebird, reiterating the curiosity about the departure.
Won't you tell me
An earnest request for an explanation or insight into the reason for leaving.
