Speak Low
Whispers of Love: Unveiling the Poetic Essence of 'Speak Low'
Lyrics
Speak low when you speak, love,
Advocates speaking softly when expressing love.
Our summer day withers away
Describes the fleeting nature of a summer day.
Too soon, too soon.
Expresses the idea that the summer day ends too quickly.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Reiterates the importance of speaking quietly in love.
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
Compares the brevity of their moment to drifting ships.
We're swept apart too soon.
Conveys the feeling of being separated too soon.
Speak low, darling speak low,
Encourages the partner to speak softly in love.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Describes love as a fleeting spark easily lost in the dark.
Too soon, too soon,
Repeats the sentiment that love ends prematurely.
I feel wherever I go
Expresses a sense of awareness or premonition wherever the speaker goes.
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
Suggests the imminence of tomorrow and its quick arrival.
And always too soon.
Reiterates that everything ends too soon, emphasizing the brevity of time.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Reflects on the contrast between the old age of time and the briefness of love.
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
Metaphorically describes love as pure gold and time as a thief.
We're late darling, we're late,
Acknowledges that they are running late, possibly in the context of life's timeline.
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Conveys a sense of finality as the curtain descends, signifying the end of everything.
Too soon, too soon,
Repeats the theme that everything ends too soon.
I wait darling, I wait
Expresses a sense of waiting, possibly for an anticipated event or love.
Will you speak low to me,
Pleads for the partner to speak softly to the speaker.
Speak love to me and soon.
Reiterates the desire for the partner to speak love soon.
