Street Cafe
Melodies of Longing: Street Cafe's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
The-the-the music played from the street cafes
The music is playing from the street cafes.
All the people were passing in a distant haze
People are passing by in a distant haze.
When you walked by
You walked by.
And I'm-a lonely and need someone to talk to
Feeling lonely and in need of someone to talk to.
I sa-said ";Hello girl
Greeting the girl and expressing the desire to walk together.
Would you walk with me
Inviting the girl to walk with the speaker, who has nowhere to go.
I got-a nowhere to go
The speaker is lonely and prefers to be with the girl.
And I'd-a much rather be
Expressing interest in taking a chance with the girl who has a unique charm.
Taking a chance that you had more than a fancy way about you";
Continuation of expressing the desire to be with the girl who has a special quality.
So tell me girl
Asking the girl about the future and seeking rescue.
Where will it end, rescue me
Asking the girl to rescue the speaker from a challenging situation.
The music you send
The music the girl sends has a rescuing quality.
I'll play in the end, rescue me
The speaker will play the rescuing music in the end.
The-the-the way you smiled was like a rising sun
Describing the girl's smile as radiant like a rising sun.
You set a burning inside from which I should have run
The girl's presence ignited a burning feeling inside the speaker.
But you walked by
The girl walked by again.
And I was lonely and need someone to talk to
Feeling lonely again and in need of someone to talk to.
You-you-you blew my mind just like a neutron bomb
The girl had a profound impact on the speaker, comparable to a neutron bomb.
You left a shell outside where I could never come from
The girl left an enduring impact, creating a situation from which the speaker couldn't escape.
Now you walk by
The girl walked by once more.
You say you're lonely and need someone to talk to
The girl claims to be lonely and in need of someone to talk to.
So tell me girl
Repeating the plea for rescue and questioning where it will end.
Where will it end, rescue me
Asking the girl to rescue the speaker.
'Cause the music you send
The music the girl sends is significant.
I'll play in the end, rescue me
The speaker will play the rescuing music in the end.
I sh-sh-should respect your point of view
Acknowledging the need to respect the girl's perspective.
But what can I say when I'm in love with you
Expressing love for the girl despite the complexities.
When nothing makes sense
Admitting confusion when in love.
I'm gonna take one more chance that you can love too
Willing to take another chance on love.
So tell me girl
Repeating the plea for rescue and questioning when it will end.
When will it end, rescue me
Asking the girl to rescue the speaker.
'Cause the music you send
The music the girl sends is significant.
I'll play in the end, rescue me
The speaker will play the rescuing music in the end.
The-the-the-the-the-the-the music played from the street cafes
Reiteration of the music playing from street cafes.
Mmmmm......rescue me
An additional plea for rescue.
Rescue me
Repeating the call for rescue.
Rescue me
Repeating the plea for rescue.
