Speak Low
Whispers of Love: Unveiling Timeless Emotions in Jacqui Naylor's 'Speak Low'
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak love
Advise to speak softly when expressing love.
Our summer day withers away
Describing the fleeting nature of a summer day.
Too soon too soon
Emphasizing the brevity of the summer day.
Speak low when you speak love
Reiteration to speak softly when expressing love.
Our moment is swift
Highlighting the brief duration of the moment.
Like ships adrift
Comparing the transient nature of the moment to drifting ships.
We're swept apart too soon
Expressing the separation that occurs too soon.
Speak low darling when you speak love
Reiteration to speak softly when expressing love.
Love is a spark lost in the dark
Describing love as a spark easily lost in the dark.
Too soon too soon
Emphasizing the premature end of love.
I feel wherever I go
Expressing a sense of impending tomorrow wherever the speaker goes.
That tomorrow is near
Feelings of the nearness of the future.
Tomorrow is here
Acknowledging the arrival of tomorrow.
And always too soon
Commenting on the inevitability and untimeliness of tomorrow.
Time is so old
Reflection on the age of time.
And love so brief
Contrasting the briefness of love with the oldness of time.
Love is pure gold
Metaphorically describing love as pure gold.
And time is a thief
Characterizing time as a thief stealing precious moments.
We are late darling we're late
Acknowledging lateness and the impending end.
The curtain descends and everything ends
Metaphorically describing the end as a descending curtain.
Too soon too soon
Reiteration of the premature end.
But I will wait oh yes I will wait
Expressing a willingness to wait despite the imminent end.
Won't you speak love to me
Asking for a soft expression of love.
Speak low to me
Reiterating the request for a gentle expression of love.
And soon
Anticipating the end (soon).
Time is so old
Reflection on the age of time (repeated).
And love is so brief
Contrasting the briefness of love with the oldness of time (repeated).
Love is pure gold
Metaphorically describing love as pure gold (repeated).
And time is a thief
Characterizing time as a thief stealing precious moments (repeated).
Oh we are late darling we're so late
Acknowledging lateness and the impending end (repeated).
The curtain descends and everything ends
Metaphorically describing the end as a descending curtain (repeated).
Too soon too soon
Reiteration of the premature end (repeated).
But I will wait oh I will wait
Expressing a willingness to wait despite the imminent end (repeated).
Won't you speak low to me
Asking for a soft expression of love (repeated).
Speak love to me
Reiterating the request for a gentle expression of love (repeated).
When you speak love to me
Reiterating the plea for a soft expression of love (repeated).
Why don't you
Questioning why a soft expression of love is not given.
Why don't you
Repeating the question about the absence of a soft expression of love.
Speak low
Final plea to speak softly when expressing love.
