SAILOR
Sailor's Journey: A Soul Lost at Sea, Longing for HomeLyrics
Hey, now
Greeting or attention-getter
You have been gone for all time
Addressing someone who has been absent for a long time
Sailor, come home
Expressing a desire for the sailor to come home
Take it all, the city's yours
Encouraging the sailor to claim everything, possibly metaphorical ownership of the city
Hey, now
Repetition of the greeting or attention-getter
Been hidin' for most of my life
Admitting to hiding for a significant part of one's life
Sailor, come home
Reiterating the desire for the sailor to come home
Wake up and I'll let go
Encouraging waking up and letting go of something
It's so funny to me
Reflecting on the amusing nature of life
How life happens to be
Contemplating the unpredictable nature of life
Sometimes feels like the seas
Comparing life to the seas with its mysteries
With all of its mysteries
Acknowledging the mysteries in life
I can't solve 'em it seems
Expressing inability to solve life's mysteries
They keep haunting my dreams
Mysteries continuing to affect dreams
Got no moment to breathe
Feeling overwhelmed and having no time to relax
And don't know what it means
Feeling confused and uncertain about life's meaning
What happened to me?
Questioning a personal transformation or experience
I mean, is this really me?
Reflecting on a perceived change in self
It brings me down do my knees
Feeling emotionally down and vulnerable
Have I got what it needs
Questioning one's possessions or qualities
I'm stuck, feeling so green
Feeling stuck and inexperienced
And still in old fantasies
Being trapped in old fantasies or memories
Do you love me with these
Questioning love and its sincerity
Or do you want me do leave?
Questioning if the choice is to stay or leave
Hey, now
Repetition of the greeting or attention-getter
You have been gone for all time
Reiterating the absence of someone for a long time
Sailor, come home
Expressing the desire for the sailor to come home
Take it all, the city's yours
Encouraging the sailor to claim everything, possibly metaphorical ownership of the city
Hey, now
Repetition of the greeting or attention-getter
Been hidin' for most of my life
Admitting to hiding for a significant part of one's life
Sailor, come home
Reiterating the desire for the sailor to come home
Wake up and I'll let go
Encouraging waking up and letting go of something
When she told me she loved me
Recalling a moment when someone professed love
All of a sudden all of my doubts went out the door
Feeling a sudden assurance as doubts disappear
When she told me she loved me
Repeating the positive impact of hearing "I love you"
All of a sudden oooh...
Expressing an emotional reaction to love
And she told me she loved me
Reiterating enduring love regardless of time
No matter how much time it will take to get me there
Stating the commitment to wait, regardless of time
And she told me she loved me
Repeating the enduring love declaration
But all I can do is cry
Expressing a sense of helplessness and sadness despite love
And she told me she loved me
Repeating the commitment to wait, regardless of time
No matter how much time it will take to get me there
Expressing a sense of helplessness and sadness despite love
And she told me she loved me
Repeating the enduring love declaration
But all I can do is cry
Expressing a sense of helplessness and sadness despite love
