Oh My Love
Echoes of Love Across Miles
Lyrics
Oh my love am I loud enough?
Expressing a concern about whether the speaker's voice is audible enough
Can you hear me where you are?
Seeking confirmation if the message can reach the intended recipient
And oh my love am I loud enough?
Reiteration of the concern about the volume of the speaker's voice
Can you hear me where you are?
Asking again if the message is audible from the speaker's location
And I'm lost in sound as I lay my head
Describing a state of being immersed in sound while resting
I'm a thousand miles from this home we've made
Feeling far away from a shared home
I heard your love as the call came through
Hearing the expression of love during a phone call or communication
From that house of cards that I share with you, share with you, hey, c'mon
Referring to a fragile situation or relationship ("house of cards") shared with the loved one
Oh my love am I loud enough?
Repeating the question about the volume of the speaker's voice
Can you hear me where you are?
Reiterating the desire for confirmation if the message is audible
Oh my love am I loud enough?
Emphasizing the need for the loved one to hear the speaker
Can you hear me where you are?
Asking once more if the message is reaching the intended destination
And I won't let go of the high and low
Commitment to holding onto both the highs and lows of the relationship
I see your smile in an open door as you wait for me
Seeing the loved one's smile and anticipating a return as portrayed in an open door
And my return
Expressing a longing for return while being in a foreign land
With my feet here on this foreign soil
Describing the speaker's presence on unfamiliar territory
You know I'd walk those thousand miles
Willingness to traverse long distances for the sake of the relationship
So you and I we could be
Expressing a desire for unity and togetherness
Oh be together now
Reiterating the hope to be together with the loved one
Oh my love, oh my love
Repeated expressions of love and the possibility of being together
Oh my love, oh my love
-Oh my love, we could be, oh be together now
-Oh my love, oh my love
-Oh my love, oh my love
-Oh my love, we could be
-And when the nights are bitter cold
Acknowledging challenging times and loneliness
And the loneliness is at our door
Describing the presence of loneliness at the door
Remember how we fought it off before?
Recalling past struggles and overcoming them together
And the candlelight, we watched it burn
Metaphorically referencing the endurance of a candle burning in anticipation of a return
Like sailor's wife 'til the men return
Comparing the speaker to a sailor's wife waiting for the return of her partner
Ocean skies, bring me home once more
Longing for the return through the vastness of ocean skies
And I won't let go of the heart I know
Commitment to holding onto the known emotions
When I see your smile in an open door as you wait for me and my return
Repeating the image of the loved one's smile and the anticipation of return
With my feet here on this foreign soil
Reiterating the presence on foreign soil and the willingness to walk a thousand miles
You know I'd walk those thousand miles so you and I we could be oh be together now
Expressing the desire to be together
Oh my love, oh my love
Repeated expressions of love and the possibility of being together
Oh my love, oh my love
-Oh my love, we could be, oh be together now
-Oh my love, oh my love
-Oh my love, oh my love
-Oh my love, we could be
-And oh my love, am I loud enough?
Final inquiry about the audibility of the speaker's voice
Can you here me where you are?
Seeking confirmation if the message is reaching the loved one
And oh my love am I laod enough?
Repeating the question regarding the loudness of the speaker's voice
Can you here me where you are?
Reiterating the hope that the message is audible to the loved one
Where you are
Ending with a reflection on the loved one's location
