Intro: (4x) Verse 1: Looking out my window An angel in robes appeared and nearly pulled me apart A million miles of freedom a million miles of road But I still don’t know where to start She wrote her number down And she gave it to me They had to scrape me off the floor In this transient town waiters and dealers Trying to get their foot in the door That night I called her and she said "Daddy daddy daddy all my life I’ve been trying to find my place in the world" And I said to her "Baby baby babe I got all night to listen to the heart of a girl" Post Chorus: (2x) Verse 2: I can see the time dripping down the clock We’ve been trying to hear that ancient refrain It’s the one that knows just when our heads are down And reminds us of the place from where we came Where we came "Daddy daddy daddy all my life I’ve been trying to find my place in this world" And I said to her "Baby baby babe I got all night to listen to the heart of a girl" Bridge: What happened here what is this world? It’s too far from the heart of a girl A ripple in the water From the drop of a pearl I’m on the shore waiting For the heart of a girl Interldue: (2x) Verse 3: Many doors knock on one Standing still time is raging Staring down the mouth of a hundred thousand guns And you’re still here you’re still here I believe that we never have to be alone Yes I believe it’s just around the bend You can hold it in Or you can scream it on a microphone There is no end (there is no end) There is no end Deep in the night I feel the presence Of something that was long ago told to me There is a hand guiding the river The river to wide open sea And deep in my heart in any gain On any mountain no I’m not afraid Standing on stone you stand beside me And honor the plans that were made

À propos de la chanson

Dans cette chanson, l'auteur évoque sa rencontre avec une femme qui cherche sa place dans un monde où elle ne se sent pas toujours à sa place. Il lui exprime sa disponibilité et son écoute, soulignant l'importance des connexions humaines et du partage des émotions. À travers des images fortes, il aborde des thèmes de quête identitaire et d'incertitude, tout en soulignant une certaine foi en l'avenir et la possibilité de ne jamais être seul. Le contexte semble être celui d'une ville éphémère, pleine de personnages qui essayent de s'installer ou de se faire une place, un endroit où les histoires de vie se croisent dans un moment fugace. Cela renforce l'idée que même dans un monde désordonné, il est essentiel de se relier aux autres et de trouver des réponses à nos propres angoisses.
