East of the Sun
Mort Weiss Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll build a dream house of love dear
Close to the sun in the day
Near to the moon at night
We'll live in a lovely way dear
Sharing our love in the pale moonlight
Just you and I,
Love will not die,
We'll keep it that way
Up among the stars
We'll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon dear
East of the sun and west of the moon
The lyrics of "East of the Sun" by Mort Weiss Quartet speak of a love that is so strong and resilient, it can transcend even the limits of time and space. The titular phrase "East of the sun and west of the moon" represents a far-off, mystical place where the couple intends to create a dream house of love. This dream house is meant to be a symbol of their ideal life together, where they can bask in the warmth of the sun during the day and admire the serenity of the moon at night. The lyrics seem to suggest that their love will be so powerful that it will inspire them to live in a lovely way and share their love in the pale moonlight.
The second half of the lyrics builds on this theme of eternal love. The couple in question is determined to keep their love from dying, and they know that they will be able to achieve this by living among the stars. In this celestial realm, they will find the kind of harmony that can only come through living life to a "lovely tune". Ultimately, the song suggests that the couple is committed to a lifelong love that spans beyond the material realm and into the mystical and intangible.
