ocean's reverb - sow your seed ©

[Bonooru]

[sow your seed]

in that moment you'll succeed
i will fail
in that time you've sowed the seed
your roots were covering my feet

[chorus:]
promise me you'll stay here with me
promise me your harvest will help me
to stoke my fears
to overcome these years

like pure water for your sowing
i need your love to grow
together we can stand all weather
just tell me how

[chorus:]
promise me you'll stay here with me
promise me your harvest will help me
to stoke my fears
to overcome these years

[bridge:]
and i know that this time will come
when this season will be gone
and then we will see
if you could promise me

[chorus:]
promise me you'll stay here with me
promise me your harvest will help me
to stoke my fears
to overcome these years

[sow your seed]

in that moment you'll succeed
Future Perfect Simple: "will have succeed
i will fail
in that time you've sowed the seed
your roots were covering my feet
hier macht Past Progressive eigentlich keinen Sinn, da keine Ablauf beschreibst. Je nach dem, einfaches Simple Past oder Simple Past Perfect

[chorus:]
promise me you'll stay here with me
promise me your harvest will help me
to stoke my fears
"Stoke fear" meint "angst schüren" - also eher das Gegenteil von "overcome"
to overcome these years

like pure water for your sowing
i need your love to grow
together we can stand all weather
just tell me how

[chorus:]
promise me you'll stay here with me
promise me your harvest will help me
to stoke my fears
to overcome these years

[bridge:]
and i know that this time will come
das "that" besser raus
when this season will be gone
eher "is over", die geht ja nicht weg.
and then we will see
if you could promise me
das kommt irgendwie komisch, müsste da nicht eher etwas stehen "ob sich dein versprechen erfüllt hat" oder so? Oder es ist absicht, den Leser da hinters licht zu führen

[chorus:]
promise me you'll stay here with me
promise me your harvest will help me
to stoke my fears
to overcome these years
