Lyrics
It was way past midnight
Expresses that it was well into the night.
And she still couldn't fall asleep
Describes the inability to fall asleep, indicating restlessness.
This night the dream was leavin'
Suggests a dream departing or ending.
She tried so hard to keep
Highlights the effort to hold onto the dream.
And with the new day's dawning
Signifies the beginning of a new day.
She felt it driftin' away
Conveys a sense of the dream slipping away with the dawn.
Not only for a cruise
Implies that the dream is not just for a short journey.
Not only for a day
Indicates a commitment beyond a single day.
Too long ago, too long apart
Refers to a distant past and prolonged separation.
She couldn't wait another day for
Expresses impatience, unable to endure another day without...
The captain of her heart
Introduces "The captain of her heart," the central figure.
As the day came up she made a start
With the sunrise, she takes action to pursue her desires.
She stopped waiting another day for
Restates the decision not to wait any longer for the captain.
The captain of her heart
Reaffirms the resolution to move forward without delay.
As the day came up she made a start
Emphasizes the proactive step she has taken.
She stopped waiting another day for
Reiterates the decision to stop waiting for the captain.
The captain of her heart
Affirms the determination to move on without delay.
Too long ago, too long apart
Echoes the sentiment of a distant past and prolonged separation.
She couldn't wait another day for
Reiterates the impatience, emphasizing the need for the captain.
The captain of her heart
Closes with a final plea for the captain, suggesting ongoing yearning.
