Love in Mind
Love's Liberation: Embracing Nature's Call in Cowboy Junkies' Melody
Lyrics
Woke up this mornin' with love in mind
Waking up with a positive and loving mindset
It was rainin' outside
Rainy weather outside
But my love still shined
Despite the rain, the speaker's love still shines
Kept me warm until my plane touched the sky
Love providing comfort until departure
And I've seen love make a fool of a man
Observing how love can make someone foolish
He tried to make a loser win
Attempts to turn a loser into a winner
But I've got nothin' to lose that
Nothing to lose that can't be regained
I can't get back again
Emphasizing the lack of irreversible losses
Man made rules been holdin' back my love
Man-made rules restricting the expression of love
Can't hold it back no more
Reaching a point where love cannot be held back
Churches long preach sex is wrong
Reference to societal views on sex
Jesus, where is nature gone?
Questioning the disappearance of natural instincts
What am I doin' here?
Reflecting on one's purpose or situation
What am I doin' here?
Repetition, underscoring a sense of confusion or questioning
Woke up this mornin' with love in mind
Morning renewal of a loving mindset
It was rainin' outside
Rainy weather persists outside
But my love still shined
Love continues to shine despite external conditions
Kept me warm until my plane touched the sky
Love providing warmth during a journey
And I've seen love make a fool of a man
Observation of love's impact on individuals
He tried to make a loser win
Efforts to transform a losing situation into a victory
But I've got nothin' to lose that
Reiteration of having nothing permanently lost
I can't get back again
Highlighting recoverable losses
Man made rules been holdin' back my love
Man-made rules constraining the expression of love
Can't hold it back no more
Asserting the inability to suppress love any longer
Churches long preach sex is wrong
Critique of religious teachings on sex
Jesus, where is nature gone?
Seeking the lost connection to natural instincts
What am I doin' here?
Reiteration of existential questioning
What am I doin' here?
Continued uncertainty or contemplation
Woke up this mornin' with love in mind
Renewed morning love and positivity
It was rainin' outside
Rain persists outside
But my love still shined
Love's enduring brightness despite external challenges
Kept me warm 'til my plane touched the sky
Love providing warmth until reaching the sky
