Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Darling you were looking good
When you came to me
And asked for a dance
And I said "we can dance"
Felt like a queen
Swedish summer nights are hot
And the trees can talk
We lay on the grass
So easily, so blessed
Whispers in blindness
And I didn't hold you back
I'm talking about it babe
'Cause you've been teasing me
I'm talking about it
'Cause you are bad right through
Stay with me and I shall want
No other love
Stay with me another love another lie
Stay with me and I shall want
No other love
You were talking so sweet
But you were touching
And teasing
I can hear the soft bells ring
Through a thousand years
They call out to me
They say it's only once in a life we love
Now I've had the honor too
You were holding my hand
You were kissing my skin
Stay with me
Trees are whispering
Only once my dear
When you came to me
And asked for a dance
And I said "we can dance"
Felt like a queen
Swedish summer nights are hot
And the trees can talk
We lay on the grass
So easily, so blessed
Whispers in blindness
And I didn't hold you back
I'm talking about it babe
'Cause you've been teasing me
I'm talking about it
'Cause you are bad right through
Stay with me and I shall want
No other love
Stay with me another love another lie
Stay with me and I shall want
No other love
You were talking so sweet
But you were touching
And teasing
I can hear the soft bells ring
Through a thousand years
They call out to me
They say it's only once in a life we love
Now I've had the honor too
You were holding my hand
You were kissing my skin
Stay with me
Trees are whispering
Only once my dear

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
