Stand at Your Window
Yearning Shadows: A Poetic Gaze Through Unseen Windows
Lyrics
Stand at your window some night
Expressing a request to stand at the window at night
Again let me see
Desire for the speaker to be seen again
The one who is holding
Referring to the person who holds the speaker's best qualities
The best part of me
Emphasizing the importance of the person mentioned in line 3
Stand at your window some night
Reiteration of the request to stand at the window at night
Look at my side of town
Encouragement to observe the speaker's side of town
Remember if you change your mind
Suggesting the speaker is available if the person changes their mind
You know where Iâ??ll be found
Indicating the speaker's location
Each night I look up at your mansion
Expressing the act of looking at the person's mansion each night
I can see the window where the light shines through
Observing a specific window with a shining light
I wonder if you still remember
Questioning if the person still remembers the speaker
The one that you left for someone new
Reflecting on being left for someone new
Stand at your window some night
Repetition of the request to stand at the window at night
Again let me see
Reiterating the desire to be seen again
The one who is holding
Re-emphasizing the importance of the person mentioned in line 3
The best part of me
Repetition of the desire for the person to be seen again
Stand at your window some night
Encouragement to observe the speaker's side of town
Look at my side of town
Reiterating the availability if the person changes their mind
Remember if you change your mind
Reminding the person of the speaker's location
You know where I'll be found
Repetition of the availability if the person changes their mind
Each night as I wait here in the darkness
Expressing the act of waiting in darkness each night
I watch your window so high above
Watching the person's high window and longing for a look
I'm longing for a look at my old sweetheart
Expressing a deep desire to see the old sweetheart
Just a glimpse of the one that I still love
Seeking just a glimpse of the person still loved
Stand at your window some night
Repetition of the request to stand at the window at night
Again let me see
Reiterating the desire to be seen again
The one who is holding
Re-emphasizing the importance of the person mentioned in line 3
The best part of me
Repetition of the desire for the person to be seen again
Stand at your window some night
Encouragement to observe the speaker's side of town
Look at my side of town
Reiterating the availability if the person changes their mind
Remember if you change your mind
Reminding the person of the speaker's location
You know where I'll be found
Repetition of the availability if the person changes their mind
