Harbor Song

Suzanne Vega

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] I dreamed you were a rich man And that I had no place to go I came to you to see if you would take me in Through golden curtains you told me you’d let me know. [Chorus] Well you drink for ten and you smoke for twenty And your fickle heart will never be true But still I feel the wind in from the harbor That’s when I know the longing for you That’s when I know the old longing for you. [Verse 2] I saw you in my mind’s eye You were laid out on your final day I stood in line to see that handsome face once more It had been so dear to me and I kissed you as you lay Had been so dear to me I kissed you as you lay. [Verse 3] Now whenever I do travel If to Portugal England or Spain As I do walk by the shipyards and the harbors I smell the salt and the bay rum of your ghost again I know the salt and the bay rum you beside me again. [Outro]

La chanson évoque les souvenirs et les désirs d'une relation complexe, où l'amour semble à la fois attirant et insaisissable. Elle dépeint une rencontre avec une personne qui, bien que riche et désinvolte, provoque en l’autre un profond sentiment de nostalgie et de manque. Les images de ports, de voiles et de souvenirs se mélangent, rappelant des moments passés empreints de tendresse, tout en soulignant la douleur de l’absence. Chaque voyage ravive le sentiment, comme si le parfum du passé flottait encore dans l’air, incitant à la réflexion sur ce qui a été perdu.
