Transposer:

I followed her into the west Where I had never been before. And never did she see me as I stood there helpless by the door. Each day my resolution rose And every day an oath I swore: Tonight I’d stand and be a man; Tonight I’d knock upon her door. And shaved and pressed and cleaned and dressed I’d start upon the quest once more. But each night ended as the rest: I could not knock upon her door. I paced my room and cursed myself; I swore that I would go no more. When as the sun was sinking low I heard a knocking at my door. And standing there with food for me; Standing there my heart’s delight! Who said "I thought you must be ill. I missed you at my door tonight. "Now you must rest and you must sleep Your resolution to restore. And when these dishes you return Be sure to knock upon my door." I followed her into the west Where I had never been before. And never did she see me as I stood there helpless by the door.

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui est tombé amoureux d'une femme qu'il admire de loin. Il se sent paralysé par sa timidité et son manque de courage, n'osant pas frapper à la porte de celle qu'il aime. Malgré ses promesses de surmonter sa peur chaque soir, il se retrouve toujours dans la même impasse, passant ses journées à se blâmer. Cependant, un jour, alors qu’il se croit au plus bas, la femme frappe à sa porte, apportant chaleur et attention, révélant qu'elle s'inquiétait pour lui. Son geste lui rappelle qu'il n'est pas seul et l’incite à retrouver confiance en lui, enrichissant ainsi leur relation naissante.
