Joey
Whispers of Love: Unveiling the Enigmatic Tale in Nick Drake's 'Joey'
Lyrics
Joey will come, to see your flowers
Anticipation of Joey's arrival to appreciate beauty and positivity.
Joey will come, to while away your hours
Expectation that Joey will spend time with the singer, making moments enjoyable.
She will tell you you're not so good for her
Joey may express concern that the relationship is not beneficial for her.
She wouldn't be there if it could be that you were
If the relationship were truly detrimental to Joey, she wouldn't be there.
Joey has loved, never shown her tears
Joey has hidden her pain and emotions, possibly projecting strength.
So she may laugh in the autumn of your years
In the later stages of life, Joey may find joy and laughter.
When you're with her you'll wonder if it's true
Doubt arises when with Joey, questioning the reality of a world without the singer.
All that they said of a world without you
Suspicions about what others have said concerning a life without the singer.
Where she may come from, where she may go
Uncertainty about Joey's origins and future destinations.
Who she may run from, no one will know
Joey may be elusive, and the reasons she avoids certain situations are unknown.
Why she was late may trouble you some
Delays in Joey's actions may cause concern for the singer.
Still you wait for Joey to come
Despite uncertainties, there is a patient waiting for Joey to arrive.
Joey will come when once more it looks like snow
Joey's arrival is linked to a weather event, symbolizing a change or transition.
Joey will come when it's really time to go
Joey will come when it's the appropriate time for her departure.
And you may smile when you find that you've been wrong
A realization that assumptions about Joey were incorrect, leading to a smile.
You thought you found her but she knew you all along
Despite thinking otherwise, Joey knew the singer's true nature all along.
But Joey will come to say hello, Joey
Joey's eventual arrival is anticipated, with a friendly greeting expected.
