Araby
Whispers of Love Lost: Night Hymns' Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Sorry I don't think I'll be here very long
Expressing a sense of impermanence and uncertainty about staying in a particular place.
'Coz this time it feels too wrong
Suggesting a feeling of wrongdoing or discomfort in the current situation.
I don't think I'm gonna take it all alone
Indicating a reluctance to face challenges alone.
I'm waiting for the first train homeward bound
Anticipation of returning home on the first available train.
I'll send you word till I be found
Commitment to keeping in touch until located.
I can write it when I'm tripping on my own
Writing communication while in a state of solitude or self-discovery.
When you feel the coming of the spring
Associating the arrival of spring with healing and renewal.
You can heal with anything you bring
Emphasizing the healing power of anything one brings during the spring.
When you hear it is always loud and clear
Highlighting the clarity and intensity of certain sounds.
When you hear me I am here
Asserting presence when heard.
How I want to reach you now you're gone like a rose of Raby
Expressing a desire to connect with someone who is now absent, likening them to a vanished rose of Raby.
Now I want to teach you with a word from the sheiks of Araby
Expressing a desire to impart wisdom, drawing inspiration from the sheiks of Araby.
When the ghosts come dance for you they rave like a dog with rabies
Depicting intense and chaotic emotions, comparing them to the frenzy of a dog with rabies.
When we stand a chance or two come shake on with the sheiks of Araby
Suggesting opportunities for connection and collaboration with the sheiks of Araby.
Come on shake on with me, let me shake on with you
Inviting collaboration and connection, proposing a shared experience.
Sorry I don't think I knew I could be strong
Expressing surprise at personal strength and acknowledging a short memory.
And my memory's not too long
Admitting a limited recollection of events, possibly expressing regret.
I don't think we're just a terrible mistake
Questioning the nature of the relationship, considering it a potential mistake.
I'm waiting for a Venus from the sea
Awaiting a mysterious or alluring arrival, possibly metaphorical.
But then will she come to me
Questioning whether the anticipated arrival will happen.
When I'm tripping over every word I break
Struggling with communication, possibly in a state of emotional turmoil.
When you hear the calling of the spring
Associating the calling of spring with an opportunity for healing.
You can heal with anything you bring
Reiterating the healing potential of anything brought during the spring.
When you hear it is always loud and clear
Emphasizing the clarity and intensity of certain sounds, possibly a metaphor for a message.
When you hear me I am here
Asserting presence when heard, reinforcing the desire to connect.
How I want to reach you now you're gone like a rose of Raby
Repeating the desire to connect with someone now absent, using the imagery of a vanished rose of Raby.
Now I want to teach you with a word from the sheiks of Araby
Repeating the desire to impart wisdom, drawing inspiration from the sheiks of Araby.
When the ghosts come dance for you they rave like a dog with rabies
Repeating the depiction of intense and chaotic emotions, comparing them to the frenzy of a dog with rabies.
When we stand a chance or two come shake on with the sheiks of Araby
Repeating the suggestion of opportunities for connection and collaboration with the sheiks of Araby.
Come on shake on with me, let me shake on with you
Repeating the invitation for collaboration and connection, proposing a shared experience.
