Sweet Inspiration
The Black Sorrows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saw you for the very first time
Your smilin' face
Was callin' out your innocence
And the band played on
Dancin' in each others arms
You were wild and free
O how I loved you
Yeah, we took on down the highway
And our hearts were filled with joy
For all those years gone by
Hearts were bound by thread so fine
We drink the wine of sweet inspiration
Tearing up this town again
Drank the wine
Of sweet inspiration
Crossed over rainy lands
Carried by the restless wind
Our dreams in our hands
We still held the spark
Was it a bird on a wing
Or a million different things
That took us down so many roads
In wonder
When the sunset kissed the mountains
Had your name still on my lips
For all those years gone by
Hearts were bound by threads so fine
We drank the wine
Of sweet inspiration
Hearts were bound by threads so fine
We drank the wine
Of sweet inspiration
Strong love
Sweet inspiration
(Camilleri Polec – Rondor Warner Chappell )

On a shimmerin' summer night
One summer night, during a beautiful display of light reflecting off of objects, I saw you for the first time
Saw you for the very first time
I had the pleasure of first laying my eyes on you
Your smilin' face
Your facial expression was demonstrating joy and happiness
Was callin' out your innocence
Your smile displayed a sense of purity and naivety
And the band played on
The musical group continued to produce sound
Dancin' in each others arms
We danced while holding one another closely
You were wild and free
You were lively and unconstrained
O how I loved you
I had a great deal of affection for you
Yeah, we took on down the highway
We traveled forward rapidly on a major road
And our hearts were filled with joy
We were very happy at the time
For all those years gone by
Throughout all of the time that has since passed
Hearts were bound by thread so fine
Our hearts were connected and tied together by something small and delicate
We drink the wine of sweet inspiration
We consume the alcohol made from grapes and feel a sense of creativity and motivation
Tearing up this town again
We were causing disruption and destruction within our city once more
Drank the wine
We consumed the alcohol
Of sweet inspiration
Made from grapes and provides a feeling of motivation and creativity
Crossed over rainy lands
We traveled through regions covered in rainfall
Carried by the restless wind
We allowed the endless flow of air to move us along
Our dreams in our hands
We held our aspirations firmly in our grasp
We still held the spark
We retained the element inside of us that propels us to keep moving forward
Was it a bird on a wing
Maybe it was a bird flying through the air
Or a million different things
Or it could have been an array of many different things
That took us down so many roads
It was a combination of factors that led us down various paths
In wonder
In a state of amazement and curiosity
When the sunset kissed the mountains
When the sunset illuminated the mountains with color and light
Had your name still on my lips
I was still speaking of you and your name remained on my tongue
Hearts were bound by threads so fine
Our hearts remained linked together by something tender and small
We drank the wine
We consumed the alcoholic beverage made from grapes
Of sweet inspiration
That inspired us with a sense of creativity and motivation
Strong love
Intense and powerful affection
Sweet inspiration
A pleasurable feeling that motivates and drives creativity
