St. Paul's Cathedral at Night
Nocturnal Reflections: St. Paul's Cathedral and Unspoken Longings
Lyrics
Got a postcard from her:
Receiving a postcard from a person.
St. Paul's Cathedral At Night.
The postcard depicts St. Paul's Cathedral at night.
Spent a couple of days
Spending a few days contemplating the message on the postcard.
Trying to read between the lines:
Attempting to understand the deeper meaning or emotions conveyed.
Now I don't have to read between the lines.
No longer needing to infer meaning, possibly due to a clearer understanding.
Talking in an empty cinema,
Engaging in conversation in an empty cinema, suggesting solitude or emptiness.
Walking back through Parliament Square.
Returning through Parliament Square, indicating reflection or revisiting the past.
St.James's Park at Christmas-time:
Being in St. James's Park during Christmas, possibly a significant or emotional time.
Glimpsing the lake through the evening lights.
Observing the lake amid evening lights, creating a picturesque scene.
I didn't want want there to come an end to our time.
Expressing a desire for the time spent together not to end.
I know I'm in no position to miss her,
Acknowledging an awareness of one's own inability to miss the person.
Shouldn't hold her so close when she goes;
Recognizing the need to let go when the person departs, despite holding them close.
Still I wonder what she was thinking
Curious about the thoughts of the person during their journey home.
As she travelled home
