Lyrics
Daylight comes, daylight comes
Expressing the arrival of daylight.
And you've gotta go
Addressing the inevitability of departure.
Breaks my heart, breaks my heart
Conveying emotional pain at the prospect of separation.
To have to watch you go
Expressing the difficulty of witnessing the departure.
Wish I knew, wish I knew
Expressing a desire to know when the person will return.
When you'll be back again
Expressing a sense of uncertainty about the duration of separation.
However long, it's just too long
Conveying impatience and the feeling that any duration is too long.
Until we meet again
Expressing anticipation and hope for a future meeting.
Stay now, stay now
Direct plea for the person to stay a bit longer.
Just a little more
Desire for a little more time together.
Coz this love, this love
Affirming that the essence of life is the love being experienced.
Is what living's for
Emphasizing the significance of the current love.
Stay now
Reiteration of the plea for the person to stay.
Hide in bed, sheets overhead
Describing a situation of hiding in bed, possibly to prolong the moment.
Blocking out the sun
Using imagery to convey a desire to block out reality.
Feel like we are marooned at sea
Feeling isolated and distant from others, like being marooned at sea.
Away from everyone
Expressing a desire for seclusion from everyone.
And I, I hate to say goodbye
Reiteration of the difficulty in saying goodbye.
I, want you to touch me one more time
Expressing a longing for physical closeness one more time.
Stay now, stay now
Repeating the plea for the person to stay a bit longer.
Just a little more
Reiteration of the desire for more time together.
Coz this love, this love
Reaffirming that the essence of life is the love being experienced.
Is what living's for
Emphasizing the significance of the current love.
Stay now, stay now
Repetition of the plea for the person to stay a bit longer.
Just a little more
Continued desire for more time together.
Coz this love, this love
Reiteration of the importance of the current love.
Is what living's for
Emphasizing the significance of the current love.
Stay now
Final plea for the person to stay a bit longer.
Stay now
Repetition for emphasis on the plea to stay.
Stay now
Final, strong plea for the person to stay.
