Lovers
Secret & Whisper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some day when your heart subsides
Then give into the open tide
I set you apart; you are a girl of mystery
I set you apart from time and history
Waiting all her life, you have been spending your days alone
Like a widow grieving
Like lovers in the evening
Look softly into her eyes; a figure of bluish green
You are familiar as a lullaby or an actress on the silver screen
For the open and great unknown, you're leaving your heart at home
Cruel and vast black waters, you leave behind your daughters
He regrets all his memories
And his soul is left to haunt the breeze alone

If love was lost at sea then mourn its passing carefully
If love is lost, mourn it carefully.
Some day when your heart subsides
One day, when your heart calms down.
Then give into the open tide
Then surrender to the unknown, uncharted waters of love
I set you apart; you are a girl of mystery
I differentiated you; you are enigmatic
Waiting all her life, you have been spending your days alone
You've waited for someone all your life, but have lived alone.
You hold onto the promise that you will see him again
You cling to the promise of reuniting with your lover
Like lovers in the evening
Like lovers who meet in the evenings
Look softly into her eyes; a figure of bluish green
Gently gaze into her bluish-green eyes, her figure captivating you.
You are familiar as a lullaby or an actress on the silver screen
You are comparable to a soothing melody or an actress in a film
For the open and great unknown, you're leaving your heart at home
You're leaving your heart behind as you embark on an uncharted journey
Cruel and vast black waters, you leave behind your daughters
You leave your children behind to face the daunting, dark seas
He regrets all his memories
He bemoans all his memories
And his soul is left to haunt the breeze alone
His soul is left to wander aimlessly with the breeze, alone.
