Come When You Need Me
Embracing Love's Light: Joan Armatrading's Heartfelt Message
Lyrics
So I've been sad
Expressing a state of sadness
So I'm confused
Feeling confused
Like most people are at times
Acknowledging that confusion is a common human experience
But I love you
Affirming love for someone
And this love of mine
Declaring the enduring nature of the speaker's love
Will comfort you
Assuring that the love will provide comfort
If need be
Expressing readiness to be there when needed
I am your friend
Stating a friendship commitment
At times when I'm worried
Admitting to moments of worry
I'll shy away from you
Indicating a tendency to withdraw during worrisome times
So at times I'm without the light I need in life
Describing periods of darkness or difficulty in life
But I love you and this love of mine
Reiterating love as a powerful force
Will open many doors
Asserting that love can open opportunities
To make you see me to make you see me
Emphasizing the desire to be recognized and understood
See me in loves light
Desiring to be seen in the light of love
Come when you need me
Inviting someone to come for support
I'm needing you
Expressing a reciprocal need for the other person
We could be the starlight in the morning dew
Imagining a shared beautiful experience
Even in my sorrows
Promising to maintain positivity even in difficult times
I'll smile for you
Committing to finding joy in the other person's happiness
Makes me free to see you happy
Feeling liberated by the happiness of the loved one
So I turn away at times
Turning away at times, possibly indicating moments of avoidance
Turn away from right and wrong
Acknowledging a deviation from moral certainty
So I freeze in the breeze
Experiencing a sense of stillness in the presence of the other's song
In the breeze of your song
Metaphorically freezing in the influence of the other person's expression
But I love you
Reaffirming love as a constant presence
And this love of mine will
Asserting that love will overcome challenges
See you through
Ensuring support through difficult times
Giving to us the morning dew
Symbolizing the refreshing nature of love with "morning dew"
