'Til The Morning Comes Around
Chris Flew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sing to me the sound of one hand clapping
If you know the tune
Tell me all about your favourite places
Just don't leave too soon
Ask me questions I can't even answer
'Cause my tongue is tied
Wrap them up in shades of gold and silver
In the evening light

But I can't breathe too soon
Before a pale blue moon
I'll wait 'til the morning comes around

Tell me how high my plane is flying
'Cause it seems it's miles
I can hear the sound of one heart clapping
All wrapped up in smiles
Is there anything should show you just before I go?
Write it in a letter, send it in a postcard
Or fly so I can see you just the one time

But I can't breathe too soon
Before a pale blue moon
I'll wait 'til the morning comes around

How did you get here?

Sing to me the words I haven't spoken
I will write the tune
Ask me all about my favourite places
'Cause I'll be leaving soon and I'll want to go
Tell me how high my plane is flyin'
When our tongues are tied
'Cause I am just a question
You are just a secret
We are just a signal in a world of static

But I can't breathe too soon
Before a pale blue moon




I'll wait 'til the morning
Wait 'til the morning comes around

Overall Meaning

In Chris Flew's song "Til The Morning Comes Around," the singer requests his lover to sing to him the sound of one hand clapping, a concept associated with the Buddhist philosophy. He also asks her to share with him stories about her favorite places and asks questions that he may not even know the answer to, wrapping them up in shades of gold and silver in the evening light. The singer seems to be aware of the ephemeral nature of their time together and asks his lover to tell him how high his plane is flying as he tries to make the moment last.


The song talks about the longing for the time to slow down so that the singer can cherish every moment he has with his lover. He wants to delay the parting and is willing to wait till morning. However, in the end, the singer acknowledges that they are just a signal amidst the world of static, and even though he wants to be with her, something beyond their control is separating them.


Overall, the song explores the idea of fleeting moments and the deep desire to hold onto them as much as possible before they slip away.
