Marion Raven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While singing on a tune
Looking through the window
Hoping you will be here soon
Some say the sun don't shine
I'm willing to agree
As long as I got you around
(Chorus)
Come on and sing
Feel the world inside
I would appreciate it if you didn't hide
So many wonders all around
Rain and thunder makes me Safe And Sound
Waking up remembering the day when I met you
Lying here in bed all morning is all I wanna do
(Chorus)
Listening to the radio
They're playing our tune
Looking through the window
Hope you'll be here soon

The chorus invites people to feel the world inside, appreciate the wonders around them, and find solace in the safety provided by the presence of a special person.
