Raspberry Eyes
Raspberry Eyes: A Melodic Tale of Love and Rain
Lyrics
When I saw your face in the crowd
Observing the person's face in the crowd
I knew at the center of the stage
Aware of being the focal point on the stage
In the spotlight of this Irish town
In the spotlight in an Irish town
There’s no one else that could have been taking me down
Feeling that no one else could affect them in the same way
I breathe – I breathe now
Expressing a sense of relief or release
It hasn’t stopped raining for more than a week
Continual rain, possibly reflecting a persistent emotional state
In every cigarette I still seek
Seeking something in every cigarette
And in every drop falling from the skies
Noticing significance in raindrops, relating them to the person
I can see your raspberry eyes
Describing the person's eyes as "raspberry eyes"
As I left Crane Lane on the street
Leaving a place called Crane Lane
You threw your clothes at me and sang to the moon
Receiving affection and a serenade from the person
I’m a stranger to the isle of sound
Feeling unfamiliar in a musical environment
There’s no one else that could have turned my frown upside down
Believing the person is the only one who can bring joy
I breathe – I breathe now
Reiterating a sense of relief or release
It hasn’t stopped raining for more than a week
Persistent rainy weather as a metaphor for emotional difficulty
In every cigarette I still seek
Continued search for something in cigarettes
And in every drop falling from the skies
Finding significance in raindrops linked to the person
I can see your raspberry eyes
Reiterating the impact of the person's eyes
From good to bad, from bad to worse and then – From worse to bad and back again
Describing a fluctuation between good and bad experiences
Oh from good to bad, from bad to worse and then – In your eyes I sing again
Expressing a musical connection in the person's eyes
Na na na, na na na… I breathe – I breathe now
Repeating a breathing affirmation
It hasn’t stopped raining for more than a week
Continued metaphor of persistent rain
In every cigarette I still seek
Seeking something in cigarettes despite challenges
And in every drop falling from the skies
Finding significance in raindrops associated with the person
I can see your raspberry eyes
Emphasizing the impact of the person's eyes
Na na na, na na na… I breathe – I breathe now
Repeating a breathing affirmation
