Till we meet again
Oh I will tell her to wait for you
The weeping girl at the cliff's edge
Shalom
Till we touch again
I will tell her not to run
Yeah, you're always there
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back to me
I, I was blind
I was blind
But now I see
Oh please come back
Please come back
Please come back to me
I, I was blind
I was blind
But,
Shalom
For that girl is me
So now you know why I weep
My shattered mind you keep
Yeah it's all you keep
Shalom
You bring the best of things
And this is what you should teach
/Perhaps/ you should learn all she needs
Yeah, all she needs
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back to me
I, I was blind
I was blind
But now I see
Oh please come back
Please come back
Please come back to me
I, I was blind
I was blind
But now I see
Shalom, shalom
Until, until we meet again
Peace till then
Shalom, shalom
Shalom, shalom

Until, until we meet again
Until, oh, peace till then

The song "Shalom" by Moonraker is a melancholic ballad that speaks about a lost love and the hope for its return. The first two stanzas are addressed to the person who left, asking them to come back, and promising to convey a message to a girl who is waiting for them at the cliff's edge. The chorus is a plea for the person to return, an admission of blindness to their worth, and a declaration of sight gained. The third stanza shifts to the perspective of the girl at the cliff's edge, revealing that she is the one singing, and the one who has been left behind, weeping.
The song's title, "Shalom," is a Hebrew word that means peace, but it is also used as a greeting and a farewell. This double meaning is reflected in the lyrics, which express both a longing for peace and an expectation of meeting again. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this message of hope, as the singer pleads for the return of their love and acknowledges their own blindness to their worth.
Moonraker is a band from Los Angeles that was active in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their music has been described as a blend of punk, new wave, and reggae, with political and spiritual themes. "Shalom" was released in 1980 as part of their self-titled album, Moonraker. The song features a slow and haunting melody, with a vocal performance that is both heartfelt and restrained. The scatting at the end adds an improvisational touch that contrasts with the rest of the song's structure.

Shalom
Peace be with you
Till we meet again
Until we see each other once more
Oh I will tell her to wait for you
I will ask her to be patient for your return
The weeping girl at the cliff's edge
The crying woman standing by the precipice
Till we touch again
Until we embrace once more
I will tell her not to run
I will counsel her to stay put
For you are always there
Because you will always be present for her
Yeah, you're always there
Yes, you will remain by her side
Please come back
Return to me
I, I was blind
I could not see clearly
But now I see
But now I understand the truth
For that girl is me
Because that woman is actually myself
So now you know why I weep
You now comprehend the reason for my tears
My shattered mind you keep
You hold onto my broken thoughts
You bring the best of things
You bring goodness into my life
And this is what you should teach
And this is the lesson you should impart
Perhaps you should learn all she needs
Maybe you should understand what she requires
Please come back
Return to me
Shalom, shalom
Peace, peace
Until we meet again
Until we reunite
Peace till then
Peace in the meantime
