So Little Love in the World
Scarcity of Love: Echoes at Union Station
Lyrics
One rainy afternoon at Union Station
Setting the scene of Union Station on a rainy afternoon.
As I sat alone and waited on my train
The speaker is alone, waiting for a train.
I overheard a lover's conversation
Overhearing a conversation between lovers.
Laced with desperation and pain.
The conversation is filled with desperation and pain.
I heard a girl say when is your train leavin'
The girl is asking about the departure time of the train.
The schedule's blurry, something's in my eyes
The schedule is unclear, and there's a hint of tears in her eyes.
I heard a boy say I'll just board it early
The boy plans to board the train early, trying to avoid a prolonged farewell.
With a voice some lone drown out goodbye.
His voice reflects a struggle to say goodbye.
I thought there's so little love in the world
Expressing a realization that there is very little love in the world.
There's so little love in the world
Reiterating the scarcity of love in the world.
With all of those millions of lonely boys and girls
Highlighting the contrast between the vast number of lonely individuals and the lack of love.
Why is there so little love in the world.
Pondering why there is so little love in the world.
I saw them walk together thro' the station
Observing the couple walking through the station together.
I saw the girl walk back alone her head held down
Noticing the girl walking back alone with a downcast head.
Her tremblin' lips the only indication
Her trembling lips indicate the emotional struggle to hold back tears.
Of her losin' struggle not to cry.
She is trying not to cry but facing difficulty.
