Lovers in a Dangerous Time
Love's Triumph Over Barriers: A Tale in Song
Lyrics
He built this wall around himself
He constructed a metaphorical barrier around himself
Many years ago
This protective wall was built many years in the past
To protect himself from being hurt again
The wall was created to shield him from emotional pain
But he couldn' t stop his feelings
Despite the wall, he couldn't control his emotions
Last night yeah
Refers to a recent night
When he saw the young lady in the bar
He observed a young lady in a bar
Blonde hair, blue eyes
Describes her physical appearance (blonde hair, blue eyes)
Waited till the band played the last song
He waited until the band finished playing before making a move
And took her home
He took her home
His mother didn' t like her
His mother disapproved of her
His father didn' t like her
His father also disapproved of her
The only thing that kept them
Their relationship faced opposition
Going was knowing that
Their determination stemmed from the belief that love could overcome challenges
Love would conquer all
Love was the driving force sustaining them
Chorus:
Repetition of the chorus
They were lovers
They were romantically involved
In a dangerous time
Their love existed in challenging circumstances
They ran away to another country
They fled to another country seeking a better life
'Cause they thought things would be
Believed that things would improve in a different place
Better for them out there
They married in Chicago in December
In the month of December
The challenges persisted regardless of the location
They got married in Chicago
Specifics of their wedding location
And it was all the same
The challenges remained consistent
Everywhere they went
They attracted attention wherever they went
Heads would turn
People noticed them
Chorus till fade
Repetition of the chorus until the song fades out
