Night And Day
Capturing the Eternal Dance: Night and Day's Poetic Yearning
Lyrics
Like the beat beat beat of the tom tom
Describing a rhythmic sound, reminiscent of a tom-tom drum.
When the jungle shadows fall
Comparing the setting sun in the jungle to shadows.
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
Describing the ticking of a grand clock.
As it stands against the wall
Portraying a clock positioned against a wall.
Like the drip drip drop of the raindrops
Depicting the sound of raindrops falling.
When the summer shower is through
Referring to the aftermath of a summer shower.
So a voice within me keeps repeating
Expressing an inner voice continually emphasizing 'You.'

Stating that 'You' are the constant focus, night and day.
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun

Expressing constant thoughts about 'You.'
Day and Night, night and day, why is it so

In the roaring traffic's boom

Under the hide of me
Describing an intense, hidden part of the speaker.

And this torment won't be through
