When the stars are right, and you're alone
Take a journey, lock the world tight
Out of your mind
The hall beckons your presence, the doors
Open wide you're to decide to turn back.
Deep the bowels of this black abyss
Compelled I just can't resist it, take me

[Chorus:]
Take me away take me away
I want to know what's deep within
Take me away
Drawing near someone passes through me
A silent entity never looking back I won't dare
Evil eyes staring through the walls of stone
As I feared I travel not alone
Laughter echoes with the blatant wind
I have passed the threshold deep within me


[Repeat Chorus]

A voice of thunder said turn back
Tabernacle is forbidden
No mortal dares to enter here
I want to know
Flame is burning, center of a fountain yearning, water
Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire
Above center is sky, cold cold neverness
Just vastness filled with stars upon stars
In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors
Reflecting what you are and what you are to be
In the first is a young boy white dove in
His hand, in the second is a warrior in armor,
In the third is the old man, gold watch
In his hand, fourth and last

No reflection at all
No reflection at all
No reflection at all
Waters rise towards physical fire, voice says
Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back, I won't dare
If the water touches the flame
Forever in darkness yes I'll remain
White dove flies from the young boys hand
Through the mirror of the old man, only way out

[Repeat Chorus]

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
