Oh My Love
Rea Garvey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm lost and found as I lay my head
I'm a thousand miles from the home we've made
I heard your words as the call came through
From that house of cards that I share with you

And I believe we both decide to take a stand or run and hide
And if you disagree then I'm the fool
And I always have to much to say
And lucidly I found my way
But it served me well
'Cause I found you

Oh my love am I loud enough
Can you hear me where you are?
And oh my love am I loud enough
Can you hear me where you are?

'Cause I won't let go on the heart I know
I see your smile in an open door as you wait for me
And my return
With my feet here on this foreign soil
You know I'd walk those thousand miles
So you and I we could be
Oh be together now

Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, we could be, oh be together now
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, we could be

And when the nights are bitter cold
And the loneliness is at our door
Remember how we fought it off before
With my feet here on this foreign soil
You know I'd walk those thousand miles so you and I we could be
Oh, be together now

Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, we could be, oh be together now
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, we could be

Oh, my love am I loud enough
Can you hear me where you are?




And oh my love am I loud enough
Can you hear me where you are?

Line by Line Meaning

I'm lost and found as I lay my head
As I lay my head down, I feel a sense of confusion but also a sense of purpose and direction.


I'm a thousand miles from the home we've made
I'm far from the place we call 'home', physically and emotionally.


I heard your words as the call came through
Your words reached me, even though we're far apart.


From that house of cards that I share with you
From our fragile, unstable relationship.


And I believe we both decide to take a stand or run and hide
We must make a decision whether to confront our issues or avoid them.


And if you disagree then I'm the fool
If you don't see things the way I do, I feel foolish and misunderstood.


And I always have too much to say
I tend to talk too much and struggle with communicating effectively.


And lucidly I found my way
Through clarity of mind, I discovered my path.


But it served me well
This clarity helped me a lot.


‘Cause I found you
And because of that, I found you — my reason for continuing on this path.


Oh my love am I loud enough
I wonder if my words and feelings are reaching you.


Can you hear me where you are?
Do you understand me, even though we're apart?


‘Cause I won't let go on the heart I know
I won't give up on our love and connection, even if things get tough.


I see your smile in an open door as you wait for me
I imagine you waiting for me with an open heart and a smile on your face.


And my return
And I long to return to you.


With my feet here on this foreign soil
I am currently in a foreign place, perhaps both physically and emotionally.


You know I’d walk those thousand miles
I would go to great lengths just to be with you.


So you and I we could be
So we could have a chance to be together.


And when the nights are bitter cold
During the toughest times, when emotions are frigid and harsh.


And the loneliness is at our door
When we feel the most alone and isolated.


Remember how we fought it off before
Remember that we overcame these feelings in the past through our love and commitment.


Oh my love, oh my love
My deep affection and commitment to you.


Oh my love, we could be, oh be together now
We have the chance to be together in this moment.


Oh, my love am I loud enough
I still wonder if you can hear me and understand me.


Can you hear me where you are?
Are you listening to me, even though I'm far away?

Meine Ma war ein Die Hard Rea Garvey Fan, bis zur letzten Sekunde im November 2014... und wenn ich dieses Lied höre stelle ich mir vor dass ich nur laut genug singen muss dass sie mich dort oben hört. Und dann lächelt sie. Das weiß ich ganz sicher.
