Since You Walked Away
Dream Walking Alone: Embracing Shadows of Longing
Lyrics
Every night when the shadows come
Reflecting on solitude and darkness that accompanies the night.
When the world slows down
Describing a moment of quietude when the pace of the world slows.
When the day is done
Referencing the end of the day, possibly suggesting a sense of completion.
The clock don't move and the phone don't ring
Highlighting a sense of stillness, no movement on the clock or calls on the phone.
I'm alone again
Expressing a feeling of loneliness and being alone once again.
It's the same old thing
Conveying a sense of monotony and repetition in the singer's life.
I close my eyes and try to sleep so I can be
Describing an attempt to sleep, possibly to escape reality and find solace.
In your arms 'til the morning sun releases me
Longing to be in the embrace of a loved one until the morning light.
Every night I go dream walking
Engaging in dreams as a form of escape or coping mechanism.
About the time the walls start talking
Suggesting that the surroundings evoke thoughts of the absent person.
Everything around me calls your name
Expressing the pervasive influence of the person even in dreams.
I go dream walking since you walked away
Reiterating the act of dream walking as a response to the person's departure.
You come to me like a gentle wind
Portraying the person's presence as gentle and comforting.
And I feel your touch
Feeling the person's touch on a deeper, spiritual level.
On my soul again
Describing the person's effect as rejuvenating or uplifting.
Like a sip of sweet champagne
Comparing the experience to the pleasure of sipping sweet champagne.
I can feel your warmth when you call my name
Sensing warmth and connection when the person's name is called.
I say all the perfect words in the candle glow
Conveying a sense of perfection in expressing love by candlelight.
This time I'm not the fool who lets you go
Asserting a determination not to repeat past mistakes.
Every night I go dream walking
Repeating the theme of using dreams to bridge the emotional gap.
About the time the walls start talking
Indicating that the surroundings trigger thoughts of the absent person.
Everything around me calls your name
Highlighting the pervasive influence of the person even in dreams.
I go dream walking since you walked away
Reiterating the act of dream walking as a response to the person's departure.
Every night I make believe you're here with me
Fantasizing about the presence of the person as a daily ritual.
But every day the sunrise finds me
Expressing the persistence of yearning even with each new day.
Down on my knees still wanting you
Continuing to desire the absent person despite facing reality.
Why tell me why can't this dream come true
Pleading for an explanation or understanding of why the dream can't become reality.
Every night I go dream walking
Repeating the theme of using dreams as a means of connection.
About the time the walls start talking
Indicating that the surroundings trigger thoughts of the absent person.
Everything around me calls your name
Highlighting the pervasive influence of the person even in dreams.
I go dream walking
Reiterating the act of dream walking as a response to the person's departure.
I go dream walking
Repeating the affirmation of engaging in dream walking.
I go dream walking since you walked away
