Morning Revelations: Love Across Oceans and Under Sunlit Skies
Lyrics
you've had it up to here with my west country talk
You are frustrated with my regional way of speaking from the West Country.
you can hardly understand a word i say
Your difficulty in understanding my words is noticeable.
the shortest tree around here is a hundred feet tall
The trees around are exceptionally tall, with the shortest being a hundred feet.
it's gonna rain today
The weather forecast suggests that it will rain today.
i try and tell you secrets 'til my face turns blue
I attempt to share intimate details until I'm breathless, but it seems ineffective.
i am not getting through to you
My efforts to communicate with you are falling short.
all the way across the ocean
A reference to a distant location across the ocean.
they're gathering their strength again
People there are regaining strength and organizing again.
lining up along the country's length again
A depiction of forces aligning along the country's length, possibly hinting at conflict.
this morning i know who you are
There is a moment of clarity where I understand who you are.
this morning i know who you are
A repetition emphasizing the realization of your identity.
on the river, the sun is bright gold
Describing a scene on a river with bright gold sun and unsettling things being said.
and the things you try to say to me make my blood run cold
Your words make me uneasy or disturbed.
but i hold you anyway, and we stare into the sun all day
Despite the discomfort, I hold onto you, gazing into the sun for an extended period.
and you're about to leave again
You are on the brink of leaving once again.
i've learned to read your movements
I have become adept at understanding your actions.
and i'm learning how to read your mind
I am in the process of learning how to comprehend your thoughts.
the sun climbs up the sky for us above the mississippi
The sun's movement above the Mississippi River is significant for us.
and i feel you in my arms, but you're hardly even with me
Even though I hold you, there is a sense of emotional distance.
this morning i know who you are
Reiteration of the morning's realization about your identity.
this morning i know who you are
Emphasizing once again the clear understanding of who you are in the morning.
