Come To Me
Vangelis feat. Mary Hopkin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come to me
While I'm sleeping
So their wagging tongues
Might not find you, my love!

All the while
They lie down
Our lighter souls fuse
Fly and dive, my love

So, stamp this night so strong
That I will remember
And have it ever after!

Come to me
In my dreaming
So their wagging tongues
Might not find you, my love!

'Round the corner
Back of hands
They'll still be talking




Whether or not we'd ever
Whether we'd ever, my love

As the song progresses, the singer realizes that no matter what they do or where they go, people will always talk, and the gossip will never stop.

Despite this, the singer still wants their love to thrive, even if it means hiding it from the prying eyes of the world.


Overall, the lyrics of Come To Me convey a sense of desperation and longing for a love that must be hidden and kept secret from others. The song highlights the power of gossip and the way it can destroy relationships, even if the love between two people is true.
