Lyrics
As we drove off in your car
Starting a journey in a car
Didn't need to return till sun-down
No specific time to return, freedom
So we headed out of town through the fields and trees
Leaving the urban environment, nature-bound
Away from city slickers and those in need
Avoiding city dwellers and those dependent
To be kings for a day
Experiencing a temporary sense of royalty
Alone in your bubble in your mobile world
Isolated in a personal, protected space
You at the wheel brimmed full of stories
The driver filled with stories
He on the back seat dreaming of glory
Passenger dreaming of glory
He was in the cockpit of a Westland Lysander
A person in a dream-like scenario
Shooting at the dull gray-day shoppers
Imaginary scenario involving shooting
Always knew when he looked at me
Expectation of a significant reaction
I'd shiver as if touched by electricity
Intense, electrifying emotional response
We three
Collective experience of three individuals
Will never be again
Recognition that this moment won't recur
Life will hold us apart
Life will keep them separated
Sense of touch
Importance of the sense of touch
Was in the air
Physical connection felt in the atmosphere
Tactility
Emphasis on tactile sensations
On this brilliant day
Highlighting the exceptional nature of the day
Brilliant day
Repetition for emphasis on brilliance
Brilliant day
-Up the drive to an old manor house
Arrival at an old mansion
Butler by the door with a welcome smile
Welcomed by a butler
Securely sewn in life's tapestry
Feeling secure and integrated into life
We ate like Lords and Lady
Enjoying a lavish meal
Like a needle and thread on embroidery
Symbolic reference to completeness
We're so complete in our company
Feeling content in each other's company
I could have cried as we dived into the jaws
Entering a challenging situation with courage
I'd shiver as if touched by electricity
Reiteration of intense, electrifying emotion
We three
Repetition of the collective experience
Will never be again
Recognition that the moment won't recur
Life will hold us apart
Life will keep them separated
Sense of touch
Importance of the sense of touch
Was in the air
Physical connection felt in the atmosphere
Tactility
Emphasis on tactile sensations
On this brilliant day
Highlighting the exceptional nature of the day
Brilliant day
Repetition for emphasis on brilliance
Brilliant day
-Brilliant day
