Swept Away (Sentimental Version) Lyrics
Well you send my life a whirling
Darling when you're twirling
On the floor
Who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow?
Than another day.
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
I see the end of the rainbow
But what more is a rainbow
Than colors out of reach
If you come down to my window
And I climb out my window
Then we'll get out of reach
Then you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
You said with such honest feeling
But what'd you really mean
When you said that I'm your man
Well how my darling can it be
When you have never seen me
And you never will again
That you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
Life is ever changing but I will always
find a constant and comfort in your love
With your heart my soul is bound
And as we dance I know that heaven can be found
Well you send my life a whirling
Darling when you're twirling
On the floor
Who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow?
Than another day.
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
Darling when you're twirling
On the floor
Who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow?
Than another day.
When you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away
But what more is a rainbow
Than colors out of reach
If you come down to my window
And I climb out my window
Then we'll get out of reach
Yeah you swept me away
But what'd you really mean
When you said that I'm your man
Well how my darling can it be
When you have never seen me
And you never will again
Yeah you swept me away
find a constant and comfort in your love
With your heart my soul is bound
And as we dance I know that heaven can be found
Darling when you're twirling
On the floor
Who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow?
Than another day.
Yeah you swept me away
Yeah you swept me away

I understood it as them singing about a short romance, like a summer love or something similar to that.
He's been 'swept away' by this girl who he's just met and even though he may never see her again he wants to enjoy the love they've found with whatever time they've got left together..so he's saying who cares about what will happen tomorrow or what lies ahead for them.. even though they may not be together forever they should still be together now.
"Life is ever changing but I will always find a constant and comfort in your love"
But whatever the meaning, this song is so beautiful.. and I can't stop listening to it either <3
I agree, completely. All of the Avetts songs are incredible. The best thing about these is that while the music alone is beautiful and the lyrics along are meaningful....combined they are incredibly moving.
i cannot stop listening to this song.
especially beautiful and pertinent to me at the moment:
"You said with such honest feeling But what'd you really mean When you said that I'm your man Well how my darling can it be When you have never seen me And you never will again"
here's to hoping that i'm wrong.
my impression is it's this man and woman meeting and dancing one night. They believe, in that night, that they may never see one another again but they believe they have the potential to fall in love with one another.
"as we dance I know that heaven can be found"
This is the first time she realized she could truly love and be loved.
But do they make it or not? Do they see one another again after this night, or is it a powerful one-night connection? I don't know.
is zoey deschanel singing on this track?
No, I believe it's the Avett's sister, Bonnie.
No, I believe it's the Avett's sister, Bonnie.
This song means a lot to me, more than I ever thought a song would ever mean to me. Please, try and listen to it and not sing along. Please, tell me this is bad without telling a blatant lie. Please, show me a song that showcases more breath-taking lyrics and brilliantly written music. In-fact, I'm sorry everyone on here hasn't commented this and shared their opinion on this wonderful piece of art. But I can see why they haven't because to my dismay, this song cannot be explained with words.
Currently, if you want me to tell the truth, I could care less about interpreting these lyrics. Every word relates to my prior relationship. Every word, plain and simple. I may sound like an idiot, oh well.
"Yeah, you swept me away."
