Blake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A distant blackbird flies through space
And all he does is search for love
Love is all that matters in the end
Whatever time I have to spare
Will be with you for ever more
Warm as the touch of two innocent lovers
When they discover that love is what
We ever really know
A past and future come and go
Because they do love stays with you
Love is all that matters in the end
Whatever time I have to spare
Will be with you for ever more
Love is the oldest secret of the universe
Warm as the touch of two innocent lovers
When they discover that love is
What we ever really know
A past and future come and go
Because they do love stays with you

Line by Line Meaning
High above this overcrowded place
In a world full of chaos, there is a place above it all where peace can be found
A distant blackbird flies through space
Amidst loneliness and emptiness, there is still a flicker of hope searching for something to hold on to
And all he does is search for love
The ultimate truth lies in love and connection, and it's what drives us all
Love is all that matters in the end
At the end of the day, love is the only thing that truly matters
Whatever time I have to spare
However much time I have left on this earth
Will be with you for ever more
I choose to spend it with the one I love, always and forever
Love is the oldest secret of the universe
Love has been the driving force of existence since the beginning of time
Warm as the touch of two innocent lovers
The warmth of love is pure and innocent, like that of two young people discovering it for the first time
When they discover that love is what
In that moment of discovery when they realize that love is
We ever really know
It becomes clear that love is the only true knowledge we possess
A past and future come and go
The past and future are fleeting and transient, but love endures beyond them
Because they do love stays with you
Love remains constant and eternal amidst the ever-changing nature of life
