You and the Moon
Moonlit Yearning: A Melodic Tale of Waiting and Whispers
Lyrics
The day is done
The day has come to an end.
There goes the sun sinking into dusk
The sun is setting, disappearing into the dusk.
He waves goodbye
The sun, personified, bids farewell.
His amber eye winking as he fades from us
The sun's amber eye closes playfully as it fades away.
And I
The speaker begins expressing their emotions.
I wait
The speaker waits patiently.
Wait for the moonlight to rise
Anticipation for the moonlight to appear.
Her blue shine is my gentle guide
The moon is described with a calming blue shine.
When everyone else has shut the blinds
When others close their blinds, the speaker keeps the window open.
I keep my window open wide
The speaker remains open to experiences.
And I stay awake
Staying awake with a purpose.
And wait for you
The speaker waits for someone.
And the moon
The moon is connected to the awaited person.
A secret place
The moon and waiting are associated with a hidden or special place.
A soft embrace lingers on my skin
The memory of a soft embrace lingers.
And I, I have no choice
The speaker feels compelled, perhaps without a choice.
I hear your voice whispering of grace and sin
The awaited person's voice speaks of both grace and sin.
And I
The speaker reiterates the waiting.
I wait
Repetition of the anticipation for moonlight.
Wait for the moonlight to rise
Describing the moon's calming influence.
Her blue shine is my gentle guide
When others shut themselves off, the speaker remains receptive.
When everyone else has shut the blinds
The window is kept wide open for connection.
I keep my window open wide
Repetition of keeping the window open.
And I stay awake
Continued vigilance and wakefulness.
And wait for you
Repetition of waiting for both the person and the moon.
And the moon
Reiterating the connection between the person and the moon.
Ooh
Expressing emotion with vocalizations (ooh).
Ooh
Repetition of vocalizations (ooh).
Who cares what's right?
Questioning societal norms about what is right or wrong.
We can't be wrong
Asserting that being with the awaited person can't be wrong.
I'm not afraid
The speaker is unafraid of the situation.
But you never stay
Notwithstanding the lack of permanence in the person's presence.
So I
Repetition of waiting, suggesting persistence.
I wait
Reiteration of waiting for the moonlight.
Wait for the moonlight to rise
Repetition of the calming influence of the moonlight.
Her blue shine is my gentle guide
Describing the moon as a gentle guide again.
When everyone else has shut the blinds
When others close themselves off, the speaker stays open.
I keep my window open wide
Repetition of keeping the window open for connection.
And I stay awake
Continued vigilance and wakefulness in waiting.
And wait for you
Reiteration of waiting for both the person and the moon.
And the moon
Final connection between waiting, the person, and the moon.
