Alison
Copperpot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every night i lie in bed and wait to hear your voice.
I think about what you had said, an I have no choice.
I call your name, but Alison is too far away.
I know what I feel is real.
You've touched me deep inside with the words you spoke to me when we talked that night.
I call you're name, but Alison is too far away from me, but you know that I'll be there, right by your side.
When the day comes we both will know so don't cry.
Soon, I know, and I can't wait till I'm by your side.
When the time comes we will know.




It's something we can't hide.

The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer lying in bed, waiting to hear the voice of someone they clearly miss.

The theme of waiting and anticipation is repeated throughout the song, with the singer expressing their longing to be by Alison's side. The lines "When the day comes we both will know so don't cry. Soon, I know, and I can't wait till I'm by your side" suggest that the long separation will eventually come to an end, but until then, the singer takes comfort in their emotional bond. The final lines of the song - "When the time comes we will know. It's something we can't hide" - underscore the idea that this connection is not something that can be easily explained or denied.
