Red Velvet
Red Velvet's Departure: Longing Amidst Dusty Winds
Lyrics
Four months ago in April on a daycoach she came down
Reflecting on an event four months ago in April when someone arrived on a daycoach.
And the dust autumn winds begin to blow
Describing the onset of autumn with dusty winds.
Shoulda known I couldn't hold livin' out so far from town
Expressing regret about living too far from town, realizing it's hard to sustain.
And the nights to come are long are slow to go
Anticipating long and slow nights to come.
Well now she's up and left me and when walkin' down the line
The person has left, and the narrator observes them walking away.
And the dusty autumn wind begins to blow
Reiterating the arrival of autumn winds.
All dressed up in red velvet and he high heeled shoes so fine
Describing the person who left, dressed in red velvet and high-heeled shoes.
And the nights to come are long and slow to go
Expecting prolonged and slow nights in the future.
Well if I had only know before we kissed
Expressing a wish for prior knowledge before a significant event, possibly a kiss.
You can't keep red velvet on a poor dirt farm like this
Acknowledging that red velvet is incompatible with a poor dirt farm.
Oh now she's gone and left me and went walkin' down the line
Repeating the departure of the person, walking away.
And the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
Reiterating the arrival of autumn winds as the person leaves.
Well I'll sit and count the evening stars as they walk around
Describing a contemplative moment of counting stars during autumn winds.
When the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
Emphasizing the presence of autumn winds.
Then I'll call my dog and I'll take the truck and I'll drive on into town
Planning to drive into town, recognizing the challenge of slow nights.
Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go
Highlighting the enduring nature of long nights to come.
Well I'll sit and count the evening stars as they walk around
Reiterating the contemplation of stars during autumn winds.
When the dusty autumn winds begin to blow
Stressing the presence of autumn winds.
Then I'll call my dog and I'll take the truck and I'll drive on into town
Planning to drive into town again due to the slow nights.
Cause the nights to come are long and slow to go
Emphasizing the enduring nature of long nights to come.
And those dusty autumn winds begin to blow
Reiterating the impact of dusty autumn winds.
