Lyrics
Take me to the station
Expressing a desire to be taken to the station.
Put me on a train
Requesting to be placed on a train, indicating a journey.
I've got no expectations
Stating a lack of expectations to return to the current situation or place.
To pass through here again
Reiterating the lack of expectations for a return journey.
Once I was a rich man
Reflecting on a past when the speaker was wealthy.
Now I am so poor
Contrasting the current impoverished state with past affluence.
But never in my sweet short life
Expressing an unprecedented emotional experience in the speaker's life.
Have I felt like this before
Highlighting the uniqueness of the current emotional state.
Your heart is like a diamond
Metaphorically describing the addressee's heart as precious.
You throw your pearls to swine
Conveying the idea of offering something valuable to those who may not appreciate it.
And as I watch you leaving me
Observing the addressee departing and affecting the speaker's peace of mind.
You pack my peace of mind
Linking the departure to the disturbance of the speaker's peace of mind.
Our love was like the water
Comparing their love to water splashing on a stone, possibly implying impact and transience.
That splashes on a stone
Drawing a parallel between the fleeting nature of love and the transient quality of music.
Our love was like our music
Emphasizing the ephemeral nature of their love and music.
Its here, and then its gone
Indicating the impermanence of both love and music.
So take me to the airport
Expressing a desire to be taken to the airport for departure.
And put me on a plane
Repeating the request to be put on a plane, reinforcing the theme of departure.
I got no expectations
Reiterating the absence of expectations for a return journey.
To pass through here again
Concluding with the repeated lack of expectations for returning to the current situation or place.
