It's an amazing song yes. But if you look closely at the words and the way the song flows, you'll come to appreciate this song even more.
The speaker comes to this enchanted seen of a beautiful girl, casually sitting on a swing. Dangling her feet, swinging them back and forth, without a care in the world. How beautiful. How innocent.
Then like the leaves of the tree, which the girl is swinging from the girl starts to sing. Re-enacting the sound of the leaves blowing in the wind. How delicate.
Then from first look it would appear the Chorus is being sung by the girl who is sitting on the swing, but it is NOT. The Chorus is the speaker, who is so overwhelmed with this image of beauty that he is witnessing comes to the realization that it is Only 10 in the evening. There is much more to the nite with this beautiful girl and it is like he is trying to wake himself up, out of this dream, which he is so sure he is in, as he repeats "And we're still out at 10 in the evening" over and over again.
The last couple lines signify that he knows he should not speak to her, or state how beautiful he thinks this image is, as the girl would stop singing if he were to say something to her. He decides to keep his distance and not to alter this Majestic beauty. He wants to keep it pure and real.
So, he takes a seat on some grass and just quitely wathches her. For hours upon hours. And he is so mesmerized by this girl that he would be happy for weeks just watching her.
i agree with everything you're saying, but i almost feel as if the reason he says "and we're still out at 10 in the evening" is to show how mesmerized he was by her and her singing, and he just lost track of the time. but i mean, who knows lol
