Discovering Love's Constellations: Jack Bruce's Folk Song Insights
Lyrics
How will I find you O my love
Expressing a search for the speaker's beloved
In the darkness of day
Referencing a challenging or obscure period
I will look in glass forests
Searching in imaginative or unreal places
Where electric fish play
Describing a surreal environment with electric fish
How will I see you when I find you
Questioning the visibility of the beloved
In the brightness of light
Anticipating finding the beloved in a bright setting
I will see you on the silver train
Imagining encountering the beloved on a metaphorical silver train
That people call night
Symbolizing the night as a train in the collective consciousness
How will I know you when I see you
Pondering recognition of the beloved in a simplistic season
In the bareness of spring
Imagining the beloved revealed in a barren spring
I will know you by starlight
Identifying the beloved through starlight and echoes
Where the road's echoes sing
Emphasizing the auditory cues of the road's echoes
How will I love you when i know you
Questioning the approach to love when the beloved is known
In the greyness of mist
Immersed in the uncertainty of a misty atmosphere
I will love you forever
Committing to eternal love in the face of sadness
Where sadness hass kisses
Associating sadness with kisses in a poetic manner
Walking by the sea
Shifting the setting to a seaside environment
See the names floating by
Observing names floating by, possibly representing memories
Trying to find each other's
Expressing the ongoing quest to find each other's trails
Trails in the sky
Symbolizing an enduring connection through trails in the sky
