Elegy
Leaves’ Eyes Lyrics

Teardrop on a fragile eyelash
As evidenced by the tear on her eyelash, she is feeling vulnerable and emotional.

She's looking like a dream
She appears almost ethereal, like she might not be of this world.

Hoping for some understanding
She is longing for someone to truly comprehend and empathize with her.

And answer or at least
At the very least, she desires some sort of response or closure.

Cunning word a single sentence
Perhaps a well-crafted or thought-out remark could give her the comfort she seeks.

To restore her heart
Her heart has been broken and is in need of healing.

Aching since the day I left her
The pain she feels has been ever-present since the moment he departed.

Crossing lonely seas
He left on a journey, most likely by boat, which has left her feeling isolated and alone.

Silent tears of a woman
Despite not making any noise, her tears are brimming with emotion.

Make a warrior cry
Even someone as strong as a warrior is moved to tears by the sadness of a woman.

Heaven, I beg you
The singer is calling out for divine intervention or guidance.

Please release hopes from fears
The artist is hoping for a release from her anxieties and for optimism to take its place.

This is my elegy
The singer is saying goodbye, perhaps permanently, and this is her final message.

Do you know what I feel?
She is wondering if anyone can truly understand the depth of her feelings.

Do you believe it's real?
The singer is questioning whether her feelings are true or not.

Will I hold you in my arms again?
The artist is longing for physical contact with her loved one.

Dewdrops on a single rosebud
The small droplets of water on a rosebud represent the beauty and fragility of life.

This purity of rain
The rain is symbolic of being cleansed and renewing oneself.

Reminds me of the moment I left her
The rain is serving as a reminder of the pain caused by the departure.

Kisses filled with pain
Even sweet kisses are causing heartbreak.

And if I should leave her waiting
The artist is acknowledging that they may leave her waiting indefinitely.

For another year
The time frame may be long and uncertain.

Will she ever know the answer?
The answer to what will happen to their relationship is unknown and may never be answered.

Will she follow me?
The artist is questioning their partner's loyalty and whether or not they will come after them.
