We
England Dan/John Ford Coley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn on the radio.
We'll play it way down low.
There's a tear in your eye that's reflecting the fire's glow.
And I wish that this night would never end.
The sun ain't gonna be my friend.
Lying here awaiting here and wishing I knew when

We'll never have to say goodbye again.

We'll never have to say goodbye again.

You must leave, I know you will.
I won't let you go until you show me the secret.
For making this time stand still.
And somewhere sometime from now together again somehow.
All of the waiting will seem like a moment and then

The whole night afraid to see the light.




And the whole day crying.
Wishing I knew when

Overall Meaning

They turn on the radio and play it low as they lie down together, gazing into the flickering fire. The singer acknowledges that his love will have to leave soon but pleads with her to show him the secret of making time stand still, so that they can stay together forever. He dreams of a future where they will be together again, and all the waiting will seem like just a fleeting moment.

He is lying there, waiting for her to go, but wishing that he didn't have to. The repetition of the chorus "We'll never have to say goodbye again" emphasizes the singer’s desire to stay together with his lover forever.

Thank goodness for you Carl, seems all my friends have abandoned me ! Thought you would like this one, just finishing the last in the series of England Dan and John Ford Coley missing tracks. Likewise please have a good weekend and avoid the hailstones, wow, have we just had one heck of a storm, someone bound to have got hurt. Take care, Steve
