Come To Me
Vangelis feat. Mary Hopkin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While I'm sleeping
So their wagging tongues
Might not find you, my love!
All the while
They lie down
Our lighter souls fuse
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
The lyrics of Vangelis's song Come To Me appear to be about two people who are in love and are trying to avoid the wagging tongues of gossipers. The singer asks their loved one to come to them while they are sleeping or in their dreams, to avoid being seen together by others. They express a desire for their "lighter souls" to fuse and fly together despite the surrounding negativity. The singer wants this night to be so powerful that they will always remember it.
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. They resign themselves to the fact that they will continue to be the subjects of speculation, whether they are together or not. 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.

Come to me
I want you by my side
While I'm sleeping
Even when I'm not awake, I still want you here
So their wagging tongues
Referring to people who gossip
Might not find you, my love!
I don't want them to discover our love
All the while
At the same time
They lie down

We become one in spirit
Fly and dive, my love

And have it ever after!
Let's make it last forever
In my dreaming

Back of hands
People still whisper behind our backs
They'll still be talking
They won't stop gossiping
Whether or not we'd ever
Regardless of whether or not we've acted on our love
Whether we'd ever, my love
Whether or not we become a couple, my love
