The Lady Is Risen

Johnny Flynn

Transposer:

She loves full and true As a fighting bequest she was given her earth by a sea come to rest And the children she bore loved this truly too much Calloused pride come to die in our hands as we touch And so soften me now let me take as it?s given For the wind’s started up and the lady is risen (Vocal Harmony) Is it snowing in London And warm in your bed Have I nothing to give you I’m cold in your head. But you’re burning in mine come to rest off the train In the silence you’ve gone and the train comes again It?s been years since I saw you I’ve learnt how to live And the love?s back in swing and the lady is risen Tell me where are the saints gone Oh where is the pull Are they flourished in times that were guarded with wool You know limbless they marched till they fell off the map. Are you sick of them falling like crumbs on your lap You once told me that this isn’t all that there is And the band started up and the lady is risen. (Vocal Harmony) You know life isn’t always like the end of your novels Things might wind up but they always unravel And I?ll watch you with eyes that can see I can see That you’re too good at pulling that wool over me And I?ll fight but there?s nothing here I find to resist And the winds started up and the lady is risen. (Vocal Harmony

Cette chanson évoque l'amour inconditionnel et la manière dont il se transmet à travers les générations. Elle parle d'un être cher, d'une femme forte et résiliente, qui porte en elle une histoire et une vie riche d'émotions. À travers des souvenirs et des réflexions sur le temps qui passe, le narrateur exprime une mélancolie douce-amère, avec l’idée que même dans la distance ou l'absence, l’amour perdure. Le texte évoque également des questions sur le sens de la vie et le destin des saints, tout en suggérant que la réalité est souvent plus complexe que les récits idéalisés. L'idée que la vie ne se déroule pas toujours comme dans les romans se dégage, nous incitant à accepter les imprévus et à continuer d'avancer malgré les épreuves.
