Lyrics
Been a-lookin' for a good girl,
Expresses the narrator's search for a virtuous woman.
But it's taking time.
Highlights the patience required in finding the right person.
A-been a-lookin' for a good girl,
Reiterates the ongoing quest for a good partner.
A-one to please my mind as well as my time.
Desires a woman who fulfills both emotional and temporal needs.
I've been singing in the evening,
Indicates the narrator's involvement in music and possibly nightlife.
Flying through the night.
Suggests a dynamic, active lifestyle, possibly involving travel.
But I hurt my good gal,
Admits to causing harm to a significant other.
I hope she makes out right,
Expresses concern for the well-being of the hurt partner.
Flying through the night.
Reiterates the narrator's active and nocturnal lifestyle.
I've been picking up the sunshine,
Symbolizes embracing positivity and joy (sunshine) and challenges (rain).
I've been drinking down the rain, girl,
Suggests resilience in facing life's difficulties.
I've been picking up the sunshine,
Repeats the theme of finding happiness amid challenges.
It makes me think on when I'll see you again.
Anticipates a reunion with a special person.
You know time could bring a change, girl,
Acknowledges the inevitability of change in relationships.
It ain't for me to say.
Accepts the uncertainty of the future in a relationship.
You'll soon be out of range, girl,
Foresees a distance growing between the narrator and their partner.
A-this could only be the way it's meant to be.
Expresses resignation to the natural course of events in relationships.
Fairy castle stark and black in the moonlight,
Introduces surreal imagery, possibly representing a dreamlike state.
The jingle jangle jester rides his stallion
Depicts a whimsical scene with a jester on a horse.
Seagull flies across my eyes forever.
Adds a poetic element with a seagull symbolizing freedom.
Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades.
Conveys a melancholic tone through the wind's journey to Hades.
Would I, should I, could I be a stranger,
Questions the narrator's identity and role in a relationship.
I shall walk right by and sigh goodbye.
Expresses a decision to pass by and say farewell.
Lucifer calls his legions from the hillside.
Introduces Lucifer, suggesting a dark or tempting force.
Sadly goes the wind on its way to Hades.
Repeats the melancholic tone as the wind heads to Hades.
I've been lookin', oh yeah,
Reaffirms the narrator's search for a good partner.
I say I've been lookin' far a good girl,
Emphasizes the persistence in the quest for the right person.
You better believe it, baby, yeah!
Asserts the sincerity and belief in finding a good partner.
Yes, I've been lookin' for a good gal, oh yeah!
Repeats the desire for a virtuous woman.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm,
Non-verbal sounds, possibly expressing contemplation or emotion.
Ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you, ain't kiddin' you
Reiterates the sincerity in the narrator's search for a partner.
Yeah, I've been a-lookin
Concludes by affirming the ongoing search for a suitable companion.
