Ayla
Flash and the Pan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why'd you run away
Why'd you run away
(Ayla, Ayla)
Why'd you hide away
Why'd you hide away
I tremble and shake
Quiver and ache
Suffer and sigh
Fever is high
Struggled, it's tough
And we've waited long enough
When the time is right
The time is right for love
(Ayla, Ayla)
No more waiting now
No more waiting now
(Ayla, Ayla)
We can take it now
We can make it now
Nights are getting longer
Days are getting short
My love's growing stronger
Your love's burning hot
We've been through the motions
And we've waited long enough
When the time is right
The time is right for love
I tremble and shake
Quiver and ache
Suffer and sigh
Fever is high
Struggled, it's tough
And we've waited long enough
When the time is right
The time is right for love
The time is right
The time is right for love
(Ayla, Ayla)
(Ayla, Ayla)
(Ayla, Ayla)
(Ayla, Ayla)
(Ayla, Ayla)
(Ayla, Ayla)
(Ayla, Ayla)
(Ayla, Ayla)

Antes se hacía música pensando en que la misma gustara y marcara a quienes la escuchaban, y el éxito discográfico y económico era una consecuencia de ello. Hoy se hacen temas con tinte comercial, que vendan discos, si gusta o no es secundario. Esa es la razón por la que estos hits son y van a ser eternos, y van a seguir atravesando barreras generacionales, mientras que la mayoría de los temas surgidos en estas últimas décadas morirán, o ya han muerto.
