When Your Lover Has Gone
Love's Fading Echo: When Your Lover Has Gone
Lyrics
What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
Questioning the value of scheming, planning, and dreaming in a new love affair
That comes with each new love affair
Expressing doubt about the significance of the excitement that comes with a new romantic relationship
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
Highlighting the fragility of cherished dreams, which often fail and leave behind empty fantasies
And leaves you with castles in air
Describing the aftermath of failed dreams, where one is left with illusions or castles in the air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
Pondering the indifference of starlit skies when one is alone
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
Expressing the fading magic of moonlight when solitude takes over
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
Emphasizing the absence of a sunrise at the break of dawn, suggesting a lack of hope
When your lover has gone
Reflecting on the emptiness felt when a lover is no longer present
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
Describing the lonely hours filled with evening shadows in the absence of a lover
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Highlighting the lingering memories that intensify the loneliness during those hours
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
Comparing life to faded flowers, suggesting a sense of loss and meaninglessness without love
When your lover has gone
Reiterating the emotional impact of a lover's absence on one's life
For ages and ages, the poets and sages
Referring to the enduring theme of love in the works of poets and sages throughout history
Of love wond'rous love always sing
Pointing out that, despite the praise for love, it often brings heartaches
But ask any lover, and you'll soon discover
Challenging the romanticized view of love by highlighting the pains it can bring
The heartaches that romance can bring
Blank line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
Recalling the lonely hours filled with evening shadows, emphasizing their impact
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Repeating the idea of lingering memories intensifying the loneliness
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
Comparing life to faded flowers once again, reinforcing the idea that life loses meaning without a lover
When your lover has gone
Affirming the profound impact of a lover's absence on one's existence
