Please Don't Turn Me Away
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Redemption in the Night
Lyrics
Please don't turn me away, please let me stay
Request not to be rejected, asking for acceptance and permission to stay.
I'm askin' you for just a little bit of your time
Request for a small amount of time from the listener.
I'm askin' you to, to leave the past behind
Asking the listener to leave behind past issues and move forward.
You don't have to tell me that it was never right, I know that, baby
Acknowledging that the past was not ideal but emphasizing the current need for the listener.
But all I really know right now is that I need you tonight
Expressing an immediate and strong need for the listener at the present moment.
I need your love in ought, to stop the rain, to ease my pain
Desire for love to overcome difficulties, symbolized by stopping the rain and easing pain.
I need the sound of your sweet voice, baby
Expressing the need for the comforting sound of the listener's voice.
To comfort me through my dark and trilly, trilly night baby
Desire for comfort during difficult and uncertain nights.
I need your love in ought, to stop the rain, to ease my pain, yeah
Reiteration of the need for love to overcome challenges and bring relief.
I need the sound of your sweet voice, oh, to comfort me, baby
Reiterating the importance of the soothing effect of the listener's voice.
Through my dark, my dark and trilly, trilly night, yeah
Highlighting the need for comfort during dark and troubling nights.
Please don't turn me away, please baby just let me stay
Repetition of the plea not to be turned away, emphasizing the desire to stay.
Don't make me pay for each and every one of my crimes
Request not to be punished for past mistakes or wrongdoings.
All I wanna do baby, all I wanna do is hold you one more time, yeah
Expressing the primary desire to hold the listener one more time.
And if I cannot ever be you lover again
If the possibility of being a lover again is not feasible, a plea to remain a friend for one more night.
Oh, for one more night, for one more night let me be your friend
Specifically asking for one more night of friendship if a romantic relationship is not possible.
Oh, oh baby don't turn me away
Repetition of the plea not to be turned away, with an emotional tone.
