All He Ever Saw Was You

Kate Wolf

Transposer:

Intro: And now the flame is out but the light burns on No one ever said he was bigger than his songs So few ever knew the heart inside the man But he gave himself away as only poets can He took the stories of his people and gave them back in rhyme But for the pleasures of the hearth there was never enough time He said one day he’d quit and then he would come home But there was always one more stage always one more road Chorus: The candle’s burning at both ends it’s burning in the middle There’s no time to stop between the guitar and the fiddle A crazy tune a crazy time you know the words were true Smiles lit their eyes but all he ever saw was you Instrumental: And the road finally claimed him like a sailor lost at sea Setting sail on the horizon that would not let him be Following a star that drew him like a flame And though he loved you so well it was not the same Chorus: The candle’s burning at both ends it’s burning in the middle There’s no time to stop between the guitar and the fiddle A crazy tune a crazy time you know the words were true Smiles lit their eyes but all he ever saw was you Chorus: The candle’s burning at both ends it’s burning in the middle There’s no time to stop between the guitar and the fiddle A crazy tune a crazy time you know the words were true Smiles lit their eyes but all he ever saw was you

Cette chanson évoque la vie d'un poète dont le talent est inestimable, mais qui se dévoue entièrement à sa musique, souvent au détriment de ses relations personnelles. Malgré sa passion et l'affection qu'il éprouve pour une personne particulière, il est constamment attiré par la scène et les voyages, ce qui le conduit à une existence éphémère et isolée. Les vers révèlent le contraste entre ses réussites artistiques et la solitude qui l'accompagne, laissant entendre qu'en fin de compte, son regard est toujours tourné vers celle qui lui est chère, même s'il ne peut pas être totalement présent pour elle.
