My Sweet Love Ain't Around
Yearning Rain: A Heart's Echo in Darrell Scott's Melody
Lyrics
Listen to the rain a-fallin'
Expressing a desire to pay attention to the sound of falling rain.
Can't you hear that lonesome sound
Noticing a melancholic and lonely sound in the rain.
Oh, my poor old heart is breakin'
Describing emotional pain and heartbreak.
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
Attributing the heartbreak to the absence of a beloved person.
Lord, I think I'll start to ramble
Expressing a decision to embark on a journey.
Got to leave this weary town
Feeling the need to leave the current, tiresome location.
This old place is way too lonely
Characterizing the current place as too lonely without the loved one.
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
Reiterating the loneliness caused by the absence of the sweet love.
On that train tonight I'm leavin'
Announcing the intention to leave on a train tonight.
And don't ask me where I'm bound
Declining to reveal the destination, suggesting a sense of aimlessness.
I can't stay here any longer
Expressing the inability to stay in the current, painful situation.
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
Reiterating the reason for leaving—the absence of the sweet love.
Mem-o-ries come back to haunt me
Recalling memories that bring emotional distress.
My dream house has done fell down
Mourning the collapse or loss of a dream or idealized home.
This old world is dark around me
Describing a world that feels dark and gloomy without the sweet love.
'Cause my sweet love ain't around.
Reiterating the central theme of the pain caused by the absence of the beloved.
Something tells me that I'm losing
Intuition or feeling that there is a loss or defeat.
'Cause these weary blues I've found
Attributing feelings of weariness and sadness to the blues.
Oh, my bab'y left this morning
Revealing the departure of the speaker's baby in the morning.
Lord, my sweet love ain't around.
Reiterating the core message—the absence of the sweet love.
