This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I've been waiting such a long time
For a love that's real to come my way
Gonna take some getting used to
Now that love is here to stay
[Chorus]
After we make love
It's so good to be lost in the afterglow
All I'm dreaming of
I just can't let the feeling go
After we make love
I feel I've been touched by
All that heaven and earth will allow
All that matters is right here and now
Now the world is full of wonder
You've turned my life around in just one day
I love the spell you've put me under
Just one kiss can take my breath away
[Chorus]
After we make love
I feel I've been touched by
All that heaven and earth will allow
All that matters is right here and now
All the lonely days and nights
Were well worth going through
I'm so glad I didn't give my heart away
So I could give it all to you
I've been waiting such a long time
For a love that's real to come my way
Gonna take some getting used to
Now that love is here to stay
[Chorus]
After we make love
I feel I've been touched by
All that heaven and earth will allow
All that matters is right here and now
For a love that's real to come my way
Gonna take some getting used to
Now that love is here to stay
[Chorus]
After we make love
It's so good to be lost in the afterglow
All I'm dreaming of
I just can't let the feeling go
After we make love
I feel I've been touched by
All that heaven and earth will allow
All that matters is right here and now
Now the world is full of wonder
You've turned my life around in just one day
I love the spell you've put me under
Just one kiss can take my breath away
[Chorus]
After we make love
I feel I've been touched by
All that heaven and earth will allow
All that matters is right here and now
All the lonely days and nights
Were well worth going through
I'm so glad I didn't give my heart away
So I could give it all to you
I've been waiting such a long time
For a love that's real to come my way
Gonna take some getting used to
Now that love is here to stay
[Chorus]
After we make love
I feel I've been touched by
All that heaven and earth will allow
All that matters is right here and now

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”

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
