In a tender dance of memory and longing, the lyrics weave through themes of nostalgia and unrepaid emotional debts. The speaker reflects on a life filled with borrowed moments, yearning for the simplicity and peace of Innisfree—a metaphorical haven representing idealized youth or a lost paradise. The recurring vision of a figure in a geometric patterned dress symbolizes an unforgettable past encounter that remains vivid amidst life's complexities. This song captures the universal quest for moments of clarity and purity in a world that often moves too quickly, leaving us to grapple with the echoes of what was once tangible.
Bedouin Dress
Lyrics
If to borrow is to take and not return
I have borrowed all my lonesome life
And I can't, no I can't get through
The borrower's debt is the only regret of my youth
And believe me it's not easy when I look back
Everything I took got soon returned
Just to be at Innisfree again
All of the sirens are driving me over the stern
Just to be at Innisfree again
All of the sirens are driving me over the stern
One day at Innisfree
One day that's mine there
In the street one day I saw you among the crowd
In a geometric patterned dress
Gleaming white just as I recall
Old as I get I will never forget it at all
Gleaming white just as I recall
Old as I get I could never forget it at all
One day at Innisfree
One day that's mine there
