Till I Gain Control Again
Navigating Life's Turns: Van Morrison's Journey to Regain Control
Lyrics
Just like the sun shining over the mountain top
Comparing the singer's presence to the consistent nature of the sun shining over a mountain top.
You know I'll always come again
Assurance of returning, no matter what.
You know I love to spend my morning time
Expressing a preference for spending time together in the morning.
Watchin' sunlight dancing on your skin
Appreciating the beauty of seeing sunlight reflecting on the partner's skin.
I've never gone so wrong for telling lies to you
Admitting fault for lying to the partner.
What you see is what I've been
Asserting honesty now; the current behavior reflects the truth.
There is nothing I can hide from you
Revealing there's nothing hidden from the partner; transparency is present.
You see me better than I ever can
Acknowledging that the partner knows the singer better than they know themselves.
Out on the road that lies before me now
Reflecting on an uncertain future path that lies ahead.
There are some turns where I will spin
Acknowledging there will be challenges (turns) on this journey.
Darlin' I only hope, only hope that you will hold me now
Expressing a plea for the partner's support during these challenging times.
Until I gain control again
Desiring the partner's presence and support until the singer regains control of their life.
Just like the lighthouse I must stand alone
Comparing oneself to a lighthouse, indicating a need to stand resiliently alone.
Landmarks to mark the sailors journeys end
Symbolizing oneself as a guidepost for others, despite the challenges faced.
No matter what sea I've been sailing on
Emphasizing the singer's consistent nature despite facing various challenges.
You know, you know I'll always roll this way, this way again
Assurance of maintaining a consistent approach despite the circumstances.
Out on the road that lies before me now
Reiteration of facing an uncertain future.
Surely there will be some turns where I will spin, spin
Acknowledgment that challenges (turns) will still be encountered.
I only hope, I only hope that you, you will hold me now, hold me now
Repeating the plea for the partner's support during difficult times.
Till I gain, till I gain control, control again
Desiring the partner's presence until the singer regains control of their life.
Out on the road that lies before me now
Reiteration of the uncertainty ahead on the journey.
There are some turns, some turns where I will spin, spin
Highlighting the inevitability of facing challenges.
I only hope, only hope that you will hold me now, hold me now
Expressing the need for the partner's support until control is regained.
Until I gain control again
Reiterating the desire for the partner's presence until the singer overcomes their struggles.
Till I gain control
Finalizing the plea for regaining control while seeking the partner's support.
