I hear the drizzle of the rain
It's falling from my window
And in the corners of my mind
I hope that I'll get to see you again
La da die da die da die da die my friend
I hear the colors in the flowers
Just like the candle snuffed at dawn
You're here, you're near, you're there and then you're gone
La da die da die da die da die
Suffering in sinking sand
All the hurt
See I'm really lost baby
We suffered a rare, rare blue
So much hurt
On this earth
But you loved me
And I really dared to love you too
Perhaps what I mean to say is
Is that it's amazing that your love was mine
Oh, Maker tell me did you know
This love would burn so yellow
Becoming orange and in it's time
Explode from grey to black then bloody white
La da die da die da die da die
Oh, Maker have you ever loved?
Or known just what it was?
I can't imagine the bitter end
Of all the beauty that we're living in
Oh no
Suffering in sinking sand
All the hurt
See I'm pretty lost baby
We suffered a rare, rare blue
So much hurt
On this earth
But you loved me
And I really dared to love you too
Perhaps what I mean to say
Is that it's amazing that your love was mine
Lost inside a lonely world where lovers pay the price
Barely get the sound of music to love and go dance to
Now it's time for us to go and no one ever has to know
You're love's in my pocket and your eyes, eye's are in my
Eyes in my soul, no one will know it but me
It's falling from my window
And in the corners of my mind
I hope that I'll get to see you again
La da die da die da die da die my friend
I hear the colors in the flowers
Just like the candle snuffed at dawn
You're here, you're near, you're there and then you're gone
La da die da die da die da die
Suffering in sinking sand
All the hurt
See I'm really lost baby
We suffered a rare, rare blue
So much hurt
On this earth
But you loved me
And I really dared to love you too
Perhaps what I mean to say is
Is that it's amazing that your love was mine
Oh, Maker tell me did you know
This love would burn so yellow
Becoming orange and in it's time
Explode from grey to black then bloody white
La da die da die da die da die
Oh, Maker have you ever loved?
Or known just what it was?
I can't imagine the bitter end
Of all the beauty that we're living in
Oh no
Suffering in sinking sand
All the hurt
See I'm pretty lost baby
We suffered a rare, rare blue
So much hurt
On this earth
But you loved me
And I really dared to love you too
Perhaps what I mean to say
Is that it's amazing that your love was mine
Lost inside a lonely world where lovers pay the price
Barely get the sound of music to love and go dance to
Now it's time for us to go and no one ever has to know
You're love's in my pocket and your eyes, eye's are in my
Eyes in my soul, no one will know it but me
The background story to this song is that it revolves around a forbidden love affair, one not sanctioned by the government, and upon threat of death the narrator has been forbidden from her lover. As she sits there without her beloved she reflects on the short time that they had together, and in the final verse she plans their escape.This is an all time favorite of mine which is actually fairly bittersweet when you think about it. "Oh, Maker" is the song I want to be played at my wedding, and I'm not budging on that. To me having a song that is about this wonderful tumultuous love that was so great that you cant even regret it when breaking up represents exactly what I expect in a spouse, someone so amazing that even if the marriage were to fail I couldn't regret being with them for even a minute. In the lyrics she goes on about how painful it is to be without her beloved yet she cant regret it because the love was so incredible, and tying in with the title of the song she even carries on to question if God has ever experienced the highs and lows that she has felt. To me its a very powerful song and if you can convince yourself not to dwell on the fact that the relationship is over with you'll come to see that the song describes the greatest kind of love.
