Lyrics
Before too long
Expressing anticipation for a future event or change.
The one that you're loving
Suggesting the person you currently love.
Will wish that he'd never met you
Foreseeing regret or unhappiness from the person your current love will eventually be with.
Before too long
Reiterating the idea of something happening in the not-too-distant future.
He who is nothing
Referring to someone who currently holds little importance or significance.
Will suddenly come into view
Indicating that this insignificant person will become noticeable or relevant soon.
So let the time keep rolling on
Encouraging the passage of time as a positive force.
It's on my side
Stating that time is in favor of the speaker.
Lonely nights will soon be gone
Predicting an end to lonely nights in the near future.
High is the tide
Comparing the positive change to a rising tide.
Before too long
Reiterating the expectation of being together soon.
We'll be together
Emphasizing the unity of the speaker and their love interest.
And no-one will tear us apart
Asserting that no external force will separate them.
Before too long
Repeating the expectation of being together.
The words will be spoken
Anticipating the verbal expression of commitment.
I know all the action by heart
Claiming familiarity with the anticipated actions or events.
As the night time follows day
Describing a natural progression of events.
I'm closing in
Expressing a sense of nearing a goal or destination.
Every dog will have his day
Believing in the eventual success or recognition of everyone.
Any dog can win
Emphasizing that even the seemingly least likely can achieve victory.
Shut the shade do no fear anymore
Encouraging to overcome fear and obstacles.
Here I come creeping round your back door
Expressing a determined approach to pursuing someone romantically.
Before too long
Reiterating the idea of a future occurrence.
I'll be repeating
Anticipating the repetition of past experiences.
What's happened before in my mind
Referring to memories or thoughts in the speaker's mind.
Before too long
Comparing a recurring experience to the impact of a hammer.
Over and over
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of the experience.
Just like a hammer inside
Using a metaphor to describe the persistence or intensity of the experience.
As the nighttime follows day
Reiterating the idea of a predictable sequence of events.
I'm closing in
Echoing the theme of nearing a goal or outcome.
Every dog will have his day
Asserting the inevitability of success for everyone.
Any dog can win
Stating that anyone can achieve victory.
Before too long
Repeating the expectation of a future event.
Before too long
Concluding with the anticipation of a future occurrence.
