Yazoo - Softly Over Lyrics






It's over, there's nothing more to say
Silent comes the night time, end another summers day
I can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away.

[Chorus]
Understand me, I'm calling -
Understand me, can you hear me call.

Night time, surely it's a lie,
No-one ever told me, I just let the chance go by
Wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but I can try.

[Chorus repeat]

Speak now, without the summer light
All the words I should have spoken, when you held me tight
Still I'll keep in calling, till the morning ends another lonely night.

[Chorus repeat]

I'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me calling
But there's never any answer, just the echo of the call

    I listened to Upstairs at Eric's every single day in college. However, only now, today, nearly 30 years later, I discover they made a second album! This is great. I'm so happy, 30 years melt away, a time capsule to pull me back to when I was free and fun and adventerous and fearless. I'm so glad I never knew! I beedvut more niw than I would have then. I'm old and fat and alone. Anyways, I thought their name was Yaz! I always ignored stuff about Yazoo. LOL. All for the best though. I'm only one song in and it is really good..

    V.... &....

    I think they were called Yaz in America for some reason, but Yazoo everywhere else :)

    "Softly Over"

    It's over, there's nothing more to say
    Silent comes the night time, end another summers day
    I can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away.

    [Chorus]
    Understand me, I'm calling -
    Understand me, can you hear me call.

    Night time, surely it's a lie,
    No-one ever told me, I just let the chance go by
    Wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but I can try.

    [Chorus repeat]

    Speak now, without the summer light
    All the words I should have spoken, when you held me tight
    Still I'll keep in calling, till the morning ends another lonely night.

    [Chorus repeat]

    I'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me calling
    But there's never any answer, just the echo of the call

    We used this Yazoo album for testing audio systems, back '80s in Poland. To me this the best one Vince has made, way better than Upstairs at Eric's.

  42. B.... ....

    Probably the best break up song ever. I lived for this during my first break up oh so many years ago.

  43. A.... F....

    Thank you so much for posting this. This song is so hard to find, and It's my favorite!

  44. B.... ....

    This album is, to me, far superior to Upstairs At Eric's. This track is beautiful. Perfect breakup record.

  45. M.... ....

    Interesting the 'understand me' lyric...did Martin Gore get the idea from his old Depeche Mode band mate when he wrote 'Shake The Disease' ?

    M.... ....

    MrFan1979 Yeah I thought the same too.

  46. i.... ....

    lord... this takes me back to college days.. good times.. good times...

  47. a.... ....

    Would have loved to have them play this song when they toured in 2008...but they didn't *sigh*

  48. r.... ....

    i almost forgot this song. thanks for bringing up again

  49. f.... ....

    Thanks for posting this. I feel young again... :)
