Lyrics
Darling, I will remember, darling
Demonstrates a strong emotional connection, a promise to remember
I've been mellow and tender
Expresses a calm and gentle demeanor
I've seen water by the cathedral
Recollection of observing water near the cathedral, possibly a significant or serene moment
Under the maple
Beneath the maple tree, suggesting a specific location or memory
It was in April
Specifies the time frame as April, indicating a particular season or time of year
You wore a raincoat by the cathedral
Describes the attire of the person being addressed in a specific setting near the cathedral during rainfall
I wasn't able, I was unable
Expresses a feeling of incapability or powerlessness
Someday you will forgive me, darling
Hopeful anticipation of forgiveness in the future
Someday you will believe that
Belief that eventually the addressed individual will come to trust or have faith
I've seen thunder by the cathedral
Recollection of experiencing thunder near the cathedral, possibly a metaphor for intensity or turmoil
Under the maple
Similar to line 4, reiterating a location or memory under the maple tree
It was in April you wore a raincoat
Repetition of the setting and attire from line 7, reinforcing the scene and emotions associated with it
By the cathedral
Emphasizes the location near the cathedral once more
I wasn't able, I was unable
Reiteration of feeling incapable or powerless
Darling, I will remember, darling
Reaffirmation of the commitment to remember the significant moments shared
I've been mellow and tender
Describes a serene and gentle state of being
I've seen water by the cathedral
Repetition of the scene near the cathedral involving water, suggesting its importance
I've seen thunder, but I wasn't able, darling
Acknowledges witnessing intensity or turmoil but feeling incapable of addressing it
