I can only hear the beating of my own heart ,why ?

Question

I wandered by a brookside
I wandered by a mill
I could not hear the water
The murmuring it was still
Not a sound of any grasshopper
Nor the chirp of any bird
But the beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard

Answer 1

ok.

Answer 2

I love this song....
Especially the ending.

Then silent tears fast flowing
When someone stood beside
A hand upon my shoulder
I knew the touch was kind
He drew me near and nearer
We neither spoke one word
But the beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard

The beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard

I am not sure if you are asking why about why the persona could only hear the beating of their own heart? I think it had something with being heartbroken and alone...so that she became unaware of everything around except her own misery but then when the guy came along, probably hurt by something as well, they were able to fuse a connection and spark a love hence although still unaware of everything but him, she can now hear both hearts beating.
