Skylark
Quest for Love's Path: Skylark's Guiding Melody
Lyrics
Skylark, have you anything to say to me
Asking the skylark if it has any message for the speaker.
Won't you tell me where my love can be
Requesting information about the location of the speaker's love.
Is there a meadow in a mist
Wondering if there's a meadow covered in mist.
Where someone's waiting to be kissed
Imagining a scenario where someone is waiting to be kissed in the misty meadow.
Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
Inquiring if the skylark has observed a green valley in spring.
Where my heart can go a-journeying
Expressing a desire for the heart to embark on a journey in that valley.
Over the shadows and the rain
Referring to overcoming obstacles like shadows and rain on the journey.
To a blossom-covered lane
Describing the destination as a lane covered in blossoms.
And in your lonely flight
Asking the skylark if it has heard music during its flight.
Haven't you heard the music in the night
Acknowledging the possibility of music in the night sky.
Wonderful music, faint as a will-o-the-wisp
Describing the music as wonderful but faint, like a will-o-the-wisp.
Crazy as a loon
Comparing the music to craziness, perhaps emphasizing its ethereal nature.
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon
Depicting the music as sad, akin to a gypsy serenading the moon.
Skylark, I don't know if you can find these things
Expressing uncertainty if the skylark can find the described things.
But my heart is riding on your wings
Stating that the speaker's heart relies on the skylark's ability to find these things.
So if you see them anywhere
If the skylark locates them, the speaker wants to be led to those places.
Won't you lead me there
A continuation of the request for the skylark to guide the speaker.
