Mark Vincent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time,
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh "wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me.
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time,
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I, I need your love
God speed your love to me.
My love.
The lyrics of Mark Vincent's "Unchained Melody" depict the yearning of a lonely lover for the return of their significant other. The singer longs for the physical connection and touch of their beloved, claiming to have been without it for a long time. As time passes slowly, the singer questions if their lover still belongs to them. They need their love and call for it to be sent to them with all haste. The singer is separated from their love due to circumstances beyond their control, represented by the metaphorical detachment of lonely rivers flowing to the sea. However, they express their desire and promise to return to their waiting partner.
