Grey weather just fool me, just tell me I'm right
Despite the careless words you say, I'm always keeping faith.
Chart the numbers, see a trend, we are moving in place
Despite your lack of blowing over I'm always keeping faith

You'd say this is not the time for goodbyes, it's too late.
You'd say this is not the time for goodbyes, it's too late, it's too late.

In the bright light of morning, map the last leg of the trip I call on you to catch me as I'm coming over that bridge
Through the night fog of the beach and the cracking concrete, the broken wings of reverie leave me always having faith

And you'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
it's too late
you'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
it's too late
it's too late

    My Interpretation

    In the chorus, the line "this is not the time to say goodbye/ it's too late" - would this be like saying, "no, don't say it now. the time for goodbye is gone and you don't get to say it" or more of a "hey, it's really late. you can't go now, so don't say goodbye. stay here with me?"

    The tone with which everything is said and the music make for some ambiguity in my eyes, whether the song is hopeful and kind of happy or a conclusion (maybe soon to be) of something less than pleasurable.

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
