Only Love Would Know

Gordon Lightfoot

Transposer:

Intro:      verse 1: Does the light of passion still burn bright   Only love would know my imagination   Tells me I’m a pent-up fool in the deep end of the pool Is the light of passion burning tonight   Only love would know only love would know   She lives on the other side you want to know the reason why   She arrives at promises and you believe in what she says   Everywhere you go__              verse 2: Is the light of passion burning bright   Everywhere you go only love would know   You think you’ve been wronged again   Oh what a way to treat a friend She belongs to other eyes and surely you must realise    She ain’t the kind who would soon step aside    Pay any dues at the expense of her pride   Everywhere she goes Only love would know verse 3: In the days gone by I came to believe Everything is trust all the rest is dust   Mother nature mother dear listen to us over here   Are the sounds of laughter ringing true   Only love would know only love would do   She lives on another plane away from the driving rain She says no you say yes and that’s how it should be I guess   Only love would know              verse 4: May the light of love surround you tonight   Everywhere you go only love would know   You thought you were wrong until   You learned once and for all it’s still   One more lesson on the way or that is what it seemed to say    She’s not the kind who would soon step down    Not the kind you would try to walk around   When only a thought would go very well   You can tell by the touch   Ah but only love would know OUTRO: Passion burning bright   Tears of passion late at night   Is the light of passion burning bright   Everywhere you go only love would know

La chanson évoque la profondeur des sentiments amoureux et l'incertitude qui les entoure. Elle parle de la flamme de la passion, tout en soulignant que seul l'amour véritable peut vraiment en évaluer l'intensité. L'artiste se questionne sur la fidélité des émotions et aborde la difficulté des relations où les désirs et les attentes ne s'alignent pas toujours. Il évoque également les leçons que l'on apprend au fil du temps, d'une expérience à l'autre, sous le regard bienveillant de la nature, tout en reconnectant à des souvenirs partagés. L'idée de la fierté et de l'acceptation des différences entre deux personnes traverse le texte, soulignant que, malgré les épreuves, l'amour demeure la seule chose qui peut vraiment comprendre ce qui se passe au fond de nous.
