Returning Light
Eternal Longing: A Melodic Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I could sit and draw you, of the last time that I saw you
The desire to create an image or memory of the last encounter with someone.
All from memory
Recollecting solely from memory.
It feels like so long ago, that by rights it should start to go
Feels like a significant amount of time has passed, suggesting it should start fading from memory, but it doesn't.
But it never will
Despite the passage of time, the memory remains vivid and unchanged.
And every time that I think of
Recollection triggers thoughts about the promises made to the person.
All the promises that I made you
Reflection on commitments made to the person being remembered.
I’ll keep them going on
Commitment to uphold and honor those promises.
Take my heart
Offering one's heart to the person being remembered.
Take my light
Offering one's light, symbolizing support, guidance, or positivity.
Take everything you need from me until you return to life
Willingness to give everything until the person returns to life or comes back.
It’s funny how the days come and go with nothing changing
Observation that days pass without significant change despite an unfilled void from the person's absence.
Even though there’s a space unfilled where the light would come and start to glow
Despite the absence, there's a space within that remains untouched, where the person's presence used to bring light.
Never fading
That space remains constant, never diminishing.
And every time that I think of
Continued reflection on promises made to the person being remembered.
All the promises that I made you
Recollection and commitment to honoring those promises persistently.
I’ll keep them going on
Commitment to maintain those promises.
Take my heart
Offering one's heart to the person once again.
Take my light
Offering one's light, indicating continued support and guidance.
Take everything you need from me until you return to life
Willingness to give everything until the person returns or comes back to life.
I know the time that you had to go yeah
Acknowledgment of the person's departure and the feeling that it wasn't the right time for it.
It wasn’t right but you try and prepare
An attempt to mentally prepare for the inevitable goodbye despite its difficulty.
How to say goodbye to you
Struggling with the idea of bidding farewell to the person.
It’s been a while and you get used to it yeah
Adjusting to the absence over time.
But when it’s time to meet you there
Preparation to reunite or meet the person when the time comes.
I’ll come running straight for you…
Willingness to swiftly approach or reunite when the opportunity arises.
