Unchained Melody
north alex Lyrics

Oh, my love, my darling
Expressing profound love for the recipient

I've hungered for your touch
Longing for physical intimacy with the recipient

A long, lonely time
Feeling isolated and alone without the recipient's presence

And time goes by so slowly
Suggesting that being apart from the recipient makes time appear to move more slowly than usual

And time can do so much
Reflecting on the power of time to change and affect relationships

Are you still mine?
Expressing doubt and questioning whether the recipient still belongs to the singer

I need your love
Stressing the importance of the recipient's love and affection in the singer's life

I need your love
Repeating the plea for the recipient's love and affection because it is crucial to the artist's happiness

God speed your love to me!
Impressing upon a higher power the importance of bringing the recipient's love back to the artist

Lonely rivers flow
Using a metaphor to describe the artist's loneliness and isolation

To the sea, to the sea
Imagining the rivers flowing towards the ocean, which symbolizes the end of the journey and the start of something new

To the open arms of the sea
Envisioning the sea as a welcoming, comforting place where the artist can find solace

Lonely rivers sigh
Suggesting that the singer's loneliness is so intense that it can cause the rivers themselves to feel melancholy

"Wait for me, wait for me"
Requesting that the recipient wait for the singer to return and be reunited with them

I'll be coming home, wait for me!
Giving the recipient assurance that the singer will return home and urging them to be patient in the meantime

Oh, my love, my darling
Affirming the deep love that the artist has for the recipient

I've hungered, hungered for your touch
Repeating that the artist's desire for physical intimacy with the recipient is intense

A long, lonely time
Reiterating the extended period of separation from the recipient, emphasizing the duration of their absence

And time goes by so slowly
Echoing the earlier sentiment that time seems to move slower when the recipient is not around

And time can do so much
Reminding the listener again of the powerful impact that time can have on a relationship

Are you still mine?
Repeating the earlier question about the state of the artist's relationship with the listener, highlighting a desire for reassurance

I need your love
Insisting that the recipient's love is necessary for the artist to feel complete and fulfilled

I need your love
Repeating the previous line to further emphasize the importance and urgency of the singer's plea

God speed your love to me
Offering a final plea to a higher power to bring the recipient's love back into the artist's life
