If love was lost at sea
Then mourn
It's passing carefully
Some day
When your heart subsides
Then give into the open tide
I set you apart
You are a girl of mystery
I set you apart
From time and history
Waiting all her life
You have been
Spending your days all alone
Like a widow grieving
You hold onto the promise
That you will see him again
Like lovers in the evening
Look softly into her eyes
A figurine of bluish green
You are familiar as a lullaby
Or an actress on the silver screen
For the open and great unknown
You're leaving your heart at home
Cruel and vast black waters
You leave behind your daughters
He regrets all his memories
And his soul is left
To haunt the breeze alone
1: The speaker is Charles Furney, the singer of Secret & Whisper
2: Somewhere near the ocean because this man had an affair and left by sailing away.
3: To tell a story, about his family story, and how tragic this induvidual story is.
4: Charles's family member had an affair with a man, and left her by sailing away. She was longing to see him again, but it never ended up happening. He regreted leaving her, but he thought he couldnt come back.
5: In the song, i think he portreys his family members (whoever she may be..maybe his grandmother?) he portrays her sadness.
"Waiting all her life
You have been
Spending your days all alone
Like a widow grieving"
6: " Cruel and vast black waters,You leave behind your daughters" - This is an effective diction because well..it rymes (witch always helps when writing music" and i would imagine this is what the man who left the lady he impreginated felt, kind of like a "little devil on the sholder" thing. Something inside his head kept saying, "you left behind your daughters" over and over, i would assume.
7: IMAGARY: "Look softly into her eyes
A figurine of bluish green
You are familiar as a lullaby
Or an actress on the silver screen"
For the open and great unknown
You're leaving your heart at home
8: This song speaks to me because it goes into great detail, and puts pictures in my head beacuse its very discriptive, yet it doesnt say eveything flat out, this song doesnt say anything about it being about a family member, but i personaly asked the writer of this song what it was about, and after he told me, the song just made complete sence to me.
