Here it comes again.

So he called for his pipe And he called for his bowl And he called for his fiddlers three. But the clock tick-tock On the mantlepiece - And I want and I feel and I know and I touch Her warmth... [Instrumental] (x4) E F# (x4) [Verse]     She’s a lady shes got time Brush back your hair and let me get to know your face. Shes a lady she is mine. Brush back your hair and let me get to know your flesh.

Why dont you touch me touch me Why dont you touch me touch me Touch me now now now now now...             [Outro] (x4)

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque des souvenirs d’un temps révolu et le désir de connexion. Le narrateur se sent distant des autres et fait référence à des histoires de royaumes lointains, tout en se perdant dans une réalité à mi-chemin. Les douceurs de la mélodie et les répétitions des couplets rendent palpable l' envie de revivre des moments simples et joyeux, notamment à travers l’évocation d’une figure familière et chaleureuse. Dans une atmosphère mélancolique, on ressent un besoin de contact, mais aussi une frustration face à l’immobilité du temps qui passe. Le personnage attend, espérant un moment de gratitude ou d'amour qui pourrait un jour advenir. Cette dualité entre l’aspiration à la simplicité et la difficulté de vivre pleinement l’instant présent est centrale dans le récit.
