Southern Nights and Lonely Lights: A Tale of Love's Fort
Lyrics
Looked upon the city lights
Reflecting on the urban lights.
In the dark her smile shined
Her smile stood out in the darkness.
Overcast and misty eyed
Under cloudy skies with a misty gaze.
I knew I found my southern bride that night
Realization of finding a significant other in the southern city that night.
Autumn calls for a lonely time
Autumn signifies a lonesome period.
The smell of leaves falling at her side
Autumn ambiance with falling leaves around her.
Her hair is long, her hair is dark
Describing her long, dark hair.
Just like the magazines are far from what to say
Comparing her appearance to unrealistic standards portrayed in magazines.
If you grow tired of boarding planes
Offering support if weary of frequent travels.
If a broken heart takes his place
Being there for her during heartbreak.
I'll build a fort for you to lay
Promising comfort in difficult times.
If you're on the fence 'bout changing names
Supporting decisions about name changes.
If you've been caught without a chase
Assuring protection if pursued without a clear goal.
I'll build a fort for you to lay
Promising a safe place for her.
Far beyond the lights and stage
Beyond the glamour, when the music stops.
When the house is dark the music fades
The absence of traces after an eventful experience.
Left without an empty trace
Left with no evident impact.
I breath it all in to inhale your sage
Deeply absorbing the essence, possibly referring to wisdom.
Might have lost when you walked away
Regret for a loss when she departed.
Painted words with a pretty face
Words painted with beauty, suggesting an aesthetic connection.
Your hair is long, your hair is dark
Describing her long, dark hair again.
Just like the magazines are far from what they say
Highlighting the disparity between reality and magazine portrayals.
If you grow tired of boarding planes
Reiterating the promise of support during weariness.
If a broken heart takes his place
Being there for her in times of heartbreak, echoing earlier sentiments.
I'll build a fort for you to lay
Continuing the metaphor of building a fort for comfort.
If you're on the fence 'bout changing names
Supporting decisions about changing identity or status.
If you've been laid without a chase
Assuring protection if pursuits lack a clear purpose.
I'll build a fort for you to lay
Repeating the promise of a secure space for her.
If you grow tired of boarding planes
Restating the commitment to be there during weariness.
If a broken heart takes his place
Reiterating support during heartbreak.
I'll build a fort for you to lay
Continuing the metaphorical offer of building a fort for comfort.
If you're on the fence 'bout changing names
Supporting decisions about personal identity or status, once again.
If you've been laid without a chase
Assuring protection if pursuits lack a clear purpose, again.
I'll build a fort for you to lay
Reiterating the promise of a secure space for her, once more.
