Postcard From Waterloo
Adieu to Love's Battlefield: A Postcard from Waterloo
Lyrics
Well there was something in that look of yours
Reflection on a certain expression in your look.
Something like a play on words.
Perceived something akin to a clever use of language.
I see your horse, he's reared up his head
Observing a horse lifting its head, questioning if it's influenced by something it read.
Could it be something he's read?
Speculation on whether the horse's behavior is due to something it read.
Now, we must say adieu
Farewell expression, indicating parting.
I'll send a postcard from Waterloo
Commitment to sending a postcard from Waterloo.
You always said that I'd really like the view.
Recalling a prediction that the recipient would appreciate the scenery.
Oh, those great plains so quiet and still
Description of the serene and quiet great plains.
Tell me who belongs and I'll tell you who will.
Pondering on who belongs to the tranquil plains.
We stood apart from everything
Being in a detached place, away from everything.
where no wind blows, no birds sing.
Emphasis on a desolate environment without wind or birdsong.
So now we must say adieu
Reiteration of the farewell, emphasizing departure.
I'll send a postcard from Waterloo
Renewed commitment to sending a postcard from Waterloo.
You always said that I'd really like the view.
Recalling the belief that the recipient would enjoy the view.
And now you ask me do I need a shield
Responding to a query about needing a shield, preferring an open field.
What I need is an open field.
Expressing a desire for openness rather than protection.
l recall the actor's advice
Recollection of an actor's advice about the importance of repetition.
That nothing happens until it happens twice,
Emphasizing the significance of events recurring for them to matter.
So now we must say adieu
Reiteration of the farewell, stressing the need to part.
I'll send a postcard from Waterloo
Commitment to sending a postcard from Waterloo once again.
You always said that I'd really like the view.
Recalling the anticipation that the recipient would appreciate the view.
