Little Whiskey
Embers of Longing: Whiskey, Ghosts, and Love's Unyielding Fire
Lyrics
There's nowhere else
Feeling there's no alternative destination or option available
For us to go
Implying a lack of other choices or paths
My dear
An affectionate term used in addressing someone
So won't you
Asking the person to depart
Go, get home
Encouraging the person to leave and return home
Pour a little whiskey before I head home
Expressing the act of consuming a small amount of whiskey before heading home, possibly for comfort or to ease emotions
Pour a little whiskey before I head home
-Poor, poor lovesick child
Describing someone as love-stricken, possibly in pain or distress due to love
There's still fire in your belly and your heart is still wild
Despite heartache, there's resilience and passion still present
There's still fire in your belly
Reinforcing the persistence of the inner fire or passion
There's a ghost in my garden
Referencing a haunting or lingering feeling within the singer's space or mind
It's telling me to go
Suggesting a message urging the singer to move on or leave
Find my way back
Seeking a path back to a place where love has departed
To where my love is gone
Reflecting on the absence of love in a specific location
Pour a little whiskey before I head home
Reinforcing the persistence of the inner fire or passion
Pour a little whiskey before I head home
-Poor, poor love sick child
-There's still fire in your belly and your heart is still wild
-There's still fire in your belly
-There's still fire in your belly and your heart is still wild
Emphasizing the enduring strength of passion and emotions
There's still fire in your belly, son
Reiterating the presence of strong emotions in the singer's being
