England
Homecoming Serenade: Finding Peace in England
Lyrics
When we get back to England
When the speaker and their partner return to England
We'll find a place to stay
They plan to find a place to stay
You'll move all our things in
The partner will handle moving all their belongings in
And I will sleep for days
The speaker intends to sleep for an extended period
I will purge my darkest dreams
The speaker will confront and release their darkest dreams
You will take care of me
The partner will take care of the speaker during this time
When we get back to England
Upon returning to England, the speaker anticipates a call from Canada
Canada will call
Canada will express condolences and tributes
With condolences and tributes
The speaker will share these condolences and tributes with others
And I will tell them all
The speaker will not face a difficult situation alone
How you couldn't let me face this on my own
The partner flew across the world to bring the speaker back
You flew across the world to bring me home
(Reiteration of the partner's support and effort)
When we get back to England
Upon returning to England again, the couple plans to book a holiday
We'll book a holiday
They will keep the holiday plans secret and leave without informing others
Won't tell anyone we're leaving
The couple plans to escape to the sea during this holiday
We'll just sneak away
They will quietly sneak away without notifying anyone
We'll escape to the sea
At the sea, the partner will pick wild flowers for the speaker
You will pick wild flowers for me
Symbolically, the partner's gestures will help the speaker's troubles to diminish
And my troubles will subside eventually
The speaker expects that their troubles will eventually subside
Yes my troubles will subside eventually
(Reiteration of the expectation that troubles will eventually fade away)
