I only recently discovered this song, and my oh my, does it ever rock. It's become one of my favorite Scorpions songs and stands up next to any of their old stuff.
At first, I wasn't sure if this song was describing a lost love or a current love. But, I'm pretty sure it's the former. Here's why:
"As I walk in the pouring rain, I call your name" suggests he is longing for her.
"I could go a million places and I'd see always, only you" suggests that he can't get her out of his mind.
"Time will ease the pain for me someday" reveals his heartache.
And the last verse actually defies his thoughts on time mending his heart when says he'll be waiting for her.
I don't quite understand what he means by her waking up from her dream. Or how he's talking about how she told him he can leave, but not to walk away.
Hmm ... now that I think about it, could he be singing about a girl who is sick and/or dying? Everything I quoted above lends credence to this theory. And perhaps the last verse then means he'll be waiting for her to "wake up" from her death bed, feeling that perhaps she will be OK, or that he'll always hold out hope.
