I'm not quite sure about this one.. I'm surprised there aren't any comments; I've really taken a liking to this song as of late.

"Time like your cheek has turned from me" Hmm.. "Turning the other cheek" is a form a nonviolent resistance, and he is saying "Time" has turned similarly.. so both time and this woman are offering him the chance to resist nonviolently, and he decides for her to pick a place, and to be there. I suppose he's just waiting peacefully for this girl, and not reacting in a violent manner, and just being full of acceptance?

I suppose. Great song though.
