Meditation
McKay Nellie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my loneliness
When you're gone and I'm all by myself
And I need your caress
I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear

Though you're far away

I have only to close my eyes
And you are back to stay
I just close my eyes
And the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings

Yes I love you so
And that for me is all I need to know

I will wait for you
Till the sun falls from out of the sky
For what else can I do
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet life will be
When you come back to me

Yes I love you so
And that for me is all I need to know

I will wait for you
Till the sun falls from out of the sky
For what else can I do
I will wait for you

Meditating how sweet life will be
When you come back to me

In my loneliness
During times when I feel alone and empty

When you're gone and I'm all by myself
When you are not here and I am left alone

And I need your caress
And I long for your gentle touch

I just think of you
I simply bring you to mind

And the thought of you holding me near
And the image of you embracing me closely

Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Causes my loneliness to fade away quickly

Though you're far away
Even though you are distant

I have only to close my eyes
All I need to do is shut my eyes

And you are back to stay
And you return to stay with me

I just close my eyes
I simply shut my eyes

And the sadness that missing you brings
And the sorrow that accompanies your absence
