The Riddle
Love's Riddles: A Heart's Quest for Fading Treasures
Lyrics
Here's a riddle, what has two eyes that cry constantly
Introducing a riddle about something with constant weeping eyes
For your love, you guessed it, it's me
Revealing that the answer to the riddle is the speaker, crying for love
Here's a riddle, what has two arms that long desperately
Presenting another riddle about something with desperate, longing arms
For your love, you guessed it, it's me
Disclosing that the answer is again the speaker, longing for love
And your love was once all the treasure I'd known
Reflecting on a past where the love received was considered a precious treasure
Now that's gone
Expressing the loss of that love
Gone on the wings of a wild dream
Describing the departure of love as if carried away by the wings of a wild dream
Now I'm all alone
Conveying the speaker's current state of loneliness after losing love
One more riddle, what has one heart that beats faithfully
Presenting yet another riddle, this time about something with a faithful heart
For your love, you guessed it, it's me
Revealing that the answer is again the speaker, with a heart faithful for love
And your love was once all the treasure I'd known
Recalling a time when love was the most cherished treasure
Now that's gone
Expressing the loss of that valuable love
Gone on the wings of a wild dream
Describing the departure of love, this time emphasizing its departure on the wings of a wild dream
Now I'm all alone
Reiterating the speaker's current state of solitude
One more riddle, what has one heart that beats faithfully
Recycling the riddle format, reiterating the presence of a heart that beats faithfully for love
For your love, you guessed it, it's me
Confirming once again that the answer to the riddle is the speaker, devotedly loving despite the pain
