The Planter and the Runaway
Lost in Longing: A Tale of Surrender and Temptation
Lyrics
Seemed like you knew me from before
It appears that you had knowledge of me from a previous time.
Seemed like you knew where I had been
It seemed like you knew the places I had visited or experienced.
So why aren’t ye runnin’?
Why aren't you fleeing or escaping?
That’s what they usually do
Because that's the usual response from people in such situations, nothing different or surprising.
Ain’t nothin’ new
There's nothing novel or unexpected in this behavior.
You belong to someone
You have commitments to another person, a family, and a life in a certain place.
Country roads, a wife and kids
Living in a rural area, having a spouse, and children.
Of course ye do
That's expected or understood.
I can’t understand why you’re hangin’ around the filthy feet of a lost little wild one like me
I'm unable to comprehend why you're staying close to someone like me, who is lost and untamed.
Are ye lost like me?
Are you also feeling lost similar to me?
Or just lookin’ to taste the free…..
Or perhaps you're merely seeking to experience freedom.
Oh my heart
My heart desires to envelop you.
My heart wants to surround you
I want to create a protective space around you.
Oh and I
As for me,
I just want to open for
I simply desire to be available or accessible to you.
I’ve opened for you
I've made myself available to you repeatedly.
Many times
Many occasions have I done so.
Can you see that in my eyes?
Can you perceive that from my facial expressions?
And I
And I,
I’d submit to you
I'd yield or give in to you.
Do anythin’ ye want me to
Willing to do anything that you desire.
Do anythin’ ye asked me to do
Willing to fulfill any request from you.
I don’t know what it is about you
I don't comprehend the reason behind my strong feelings for you.
You find a poem in everythin’ I do
You manage to find poetic beauty in everything I do.
Ahhhh ye do
Ah, indeed you do.
From the arch in my back
From the curvature of my spine,
To the ways I move
To the way I carry myself.
Oh I want you…..
Oh, how I desire you.
Oh and you
Oh, and you,
You bring me
You take me to a state of giving up or yielding completely.
To a place of surrender
Oh and I
I'd give in completely for you.
I’d surrender for you
Do anythin’ for you
Willing to fulfill any request from you.
Do anythin’ you want me to
Willing to do whatever you ask of me.
Do anythin’ you asked me to
Willing to comply with any request you have for me.
Do anythin’ you want me to do
Willing to carry out any task or action you want me to.
