Lyrics
It ain't no secrete, the way I feel for you
Expressing openly that feelings for the person are not a secret.
I couldn't hide it behind a curtain
Unable to conceal emotions, emphasized by the metaphor of a curtain.
couldn't shield you from the truth
Acknowledging the inability to protect the person from the truth.
and even though all your ships have said on through
Despite the person's absence, waiting at the docks with anticipation.
I'm standing at the docks and I'm waiting here for you
Remaining hopeful and committed to waiting for the person's return.
Hold me in your arms again
Repeated plea for physical closeness and emotional connection.
Hold me in your arms again
-Hold me in your arms again
-There's no mistake that we can't make
Expressing confidence in overcoming any challenges or errors.
Your skin is tanned, you're eyes are gray, your hair is blue
Describing physical attributes and expressing a longing for a dream-like reunion.
and in my dream you never left and I'm laying next to you
-But I'm a wake as sure as this long day is through
-laying in the darkness, wondering what to do
-Hold me in your arms again
Reiterating the desire for emotional and physical connection.
Hold me in your arms again
-Hold me in your arms again
-There's no mistake that we can't make
Emphasizing the belief that any mistake can be overcome.
Your rolling laughter is the best I ever knew
Praising the laughter but expressing the disappointment of separation and seeking answers.
but you took off on a plane and you took it there with you
-and all the elders of my tribe they fail me too
-looking for an answer, hoping for a clue
-Hold me in your arms again
Repeated request for the person to hold the speaker once again.
Hold me in your arms again
-Hold me in your arms again
-There's no mistake that we can't make
Reiterating the confidence in overcoming mistakes or challenges.
The tide is rising I must make our rendez-vous
Describing a situation of waiting, using references to a rising tide and a rendezvous.
I'm waiting by this tree, for Godo and for you
-in broken German I then whisper back at you:
-Ich liebe dich mein Leben
-Oh, honey I need you
Expressing a strong need for the person with a term of endearment.
To hold me in your arms again
Repeating the plea for the person to hold the speaker in their arms.
Hold me in your arms again
-Hold me in your arms again
-There's no mistake that we can't make
Reinforcing the belief that any mistake can be overcome in the relationship.
