Dan Fogelberg - Reach Haven Postcard INTRO:    (3x)           Well the first breath of autumn blows through the trees And the nights are getting long and growing colder And the maples are turning and the fields have gone brown And the waves against the shore make such a sad sound Now there’s a meal on the table and a fire in the stove And a candle burning brightly by the stairway And a lamp in the window that shines out to sea And I wish so much tonight that you were here with me       Now the moon is in danger of running aground As she sweeps the tattered clouds above the island And the stars lay like diamonds on the breast of the sea And I wonder where you are and if you’re thinking of me CHORUS: Now I’ve grown so accustomed to having you near And I miss you so madly when you are not here When I think how you love me oh it brings me to tears And I wish so much tonight that you were here with me Oh I wish so much tonight that you were here with me INSTRUMENTAL:             Well I dropped you a postcard today in the mail With a picture of a sailing ship upon it And I tried to say something that was clever and clear But the only thing I wrote was that "I wish you were here" CHORUS: Now I’ve grown so accustomed to having you near And I miss you so madly when you are not here When I think how you love me oh it brings me to tears And I wish so much tonight that you were here with me Oh I wish so much tonight that you were here with me OUTRO:

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les sentiments profonds de solitude et de nostalgie lorsque l'être aimé est éloigné. À travers de belles métaphores liées à l'automne et à la mer, l'auteur exprime son désir intense de partager ces moments avec la personne qu'il aime. Il parle d'un repas chaleureux, d'une lumière réconfortante, et d'une carte postale qu'il a envoyée, dans laquelle il peine à trouver les mots justes, se contentant de dire qu'il souhaite sa présence à ses côtés. Le contexte est celui d'une saison qui symbolise le changement et l’introspection. C'est un moment où les nuits s'allongent et où la nature se prépare à l'hiver, ce qui accentue le sentiment de manque et la mélancolie.
