I listened to Argent yester-day (partially because I realized recently that it was recorded fifty years ago this year), and I noticed a handful of things.
In "Like Honey," the various lines about night falling ("When night falls on rare wine," "When night falls on stone rooms," and "And night falls no longer") are all sung to a (generally) descending melody (B D B B A G). musically giving a sense of that (metaphorical) "fall[ing]."
"Fly" in the first line of the bridge ("So rise and learn to fly") is sung with a melisma (B D A), so even though it has a general descent, it gives an impression of movement. "Fly" in the backing vocals at the end of the bridge ("So fly") is sung with an ascending melisma (A B C D E), musically giving a sense of that upward movement.
"Pass" in the line "Help the lonely hour of the night pass by" also seems to be sung with a melisma to indicate the "pass[ing]" of time, but it's very subtle.
"Wings" in the line "So rise and spread your wings" is sung with yet an-other melisma (D C B A), musically giving a sense of that "spread[ing]."
