Return
Echoes of Longing: Jon Kenzie's Poetic Return
Lyrics
Long before we had ever met
Reflecting on a time before the speaker and the subject of the song met.
I was already hoping for you
Expressing anticipation and hope for the person even before their meeting.
And soon after our first kiss
Acknowledging a significant moment, the first kiss, in their relationship.
I knew I couldn't stay long from you
Realizing a strong connection and the difficulty of being apart.
Now that I rest my head
Describing the present moment of finding solace, possibly at the person's place.
On an offered couch
Symbolizing a gesture of hospitality or openness by resting on an offered couch.
The wind outside howls through
Setting the scene with the sound of wind, possibly representing the passage of time.
These slow passing hours
Reflecting on the slow passage of time during a period of separation.
And how much lonesome does a man have to get
Pondering the depth of loneliness one must experience before feeling truly liberated.
Before he is satisfied that he's living free
Questioning the threshold of loneliness required for a person to feel satisfied with a sense of freedom.
I will return

Follow your heart if you can still hear it leading

Or be content in knowing you've come this far
Encouraging acceptance of the journey taken and acknowledging progress.
And all those romantic sorrows your missing

Can fill all the pages of your stories untold
