Back To Me
The Duchess And The Duke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I let you
We broke the ties that bind
I wanted to forget you
And leave the past behind
Still, the magic of the night I met you
Seems to stay forever in my mind
And high above
The moon was new
And so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover where can you be
You came at last
Love had its day
That day is past
You've gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing
You used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing
You used to do
I grow lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me

You went away
You left me, you were the one who chose to go
I let you
I didn't stop you, I allowed you to leave
We broke the ties that bind
Our connection was severed, we are no longer together
I wanted to forget you
I tried to erase you from my memory
And leave the past behind
I wanted to move on from what we had
Still, the magic of the night I met you
Despite my efforts, I cannot forget the enchantment of the night we met
Seems to stay forever in my mind
The memory of that night is permanently etched in my thoughts
The sky was blue
The sky was a shade of blue
And high above
Up in the sky, far from reach
The moon was new
The moon was in its early phase
And so was love
Our love was young and new, just like the moon
This eager heart of mine was singing
My heart was full of joy and anticipation
Lover where can you be
I am searching for you, my love
You came at last
You finally arrived
Love had its day
Our love had its time of flourishing
That day is past
That happy time is now behind us
You've gone away
You have left once again
This aching heart of mine is singing
My heart is filled with pain and longing
Lover come back to me
Please return to me, my love
When I remember every little thing
Whenever I recall anything about you
You used to do
All the things you did when we were together
I'm so lonely
I am filled with a deep sense of solitude
Every road I walk along
No matter where I go
I walk along with you
I can feel your presence with me
No wonder I am lonely
It's no surprise I feel this way
The sky is blue
Once again, the sky is a shade of blue
The night is cold
It's a chilly evening
The moon is new
The moon is still in its early phase
But love is old
Our love has been around for a while, it's not new anymore
And while I'm waiting here
While I remain here, longing for you
This heart of mine is singing
My heart is still filled with longing
Lover come back to me
Please return to me, my love
