Lyrics
One day I woke up and you're not in the bed
Waking up alone in bed, realizing the absence of the partner.
Where are you now? where are you now?
Expressing the ongoing search for the missing person.
I got a letter just this morning saying you're not coming back
Receiving a letter confirming the partner's decision not to return.
Where are you now? where are you now?
Continuing the search and questioning the partner's whereabouts.
You said when the last petal drops I know you'll be gone
Recalling a previous statement by the partner about departure.
You took the sun, and left me with the rain
Describing the emotional impact of the partner's departure, using weather metaphors.
Where are you now?
Reiterating the question about the partner's current location.
I've looked round the pines and off to the East
Searching various places, possibly sentimental or meaningful, for the missing person.
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Continuing the search and expressing the uncertainty of the partner's whereabouts.
You said it's over and I need to forget
Recalling the partner's declaration of the end of the relationship.
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Asking about the partner's location after the breakup.
You said when the last petal drops I know you'll be gone (I know you'll be gone)
Repeating the partner's statement about departure when a certain event occurs.
You took the sun (Sun), and left me with the rain
Symbolically describing the impact of the departure, contrasting sunshine with rain.
Where are you now?
Reiterating the search for the missing person.
You left me with the rain
Stating that the partner left, emphasizing the emotional impact with rain symbolism.
You left me with so much pain
Expressing the intense emotional pain left by the departure.
You took it all, you took it now, I've got nothing left to give
Describing the complete loss and emptiness after the departure.
You took it all, you took it now, I've got nothing left to give
Highlighting the emptiness and inability to offer anything more after the partner's departure.
