And the Baby Never Cries
Whispers of Rebirth: A Musical Tale of Love and Midnight Secrets
Lyrics
Well, I've sung out one more evening,
Expressing the completion of a performance or singing session.
And I'm wrung out, feeling beat.
Feeling physically and emotionally drained.
I walk on out the door once more
Leaving a performance venue and entering an empty city street.
To an empty city street.
Describing the solitude of the city street.
A Good guitar will serve you well
Highlighting the value of a good guitar in the entertainment industry.
When you're living in the lights
Emphasizing the importance of a guitar in a performer's life.
But it's never going to warm you
Pointing out the guitar's inability to provide warmth during lonely moments.
In the middle of the night.
Contrasting the lights with the loneliness of the night.
And so I come and go with her in whispers.
Describing secretive and quiet interactions with someone.
Each and every time she says she dies.
Indicating a recurring pattern of emotional highs and lows with this person.
When she is reborn again
Metaphorically referring to a renewal or transformation in the person.
I kiss her.
Expressing affection through a kiss during these moments.
And the baby never cries.
Suggesting emotional stability or contentment in the presence of a baby.
She works in the daytime,
Describing the woman's daytime job and responsibilities.
She leave her baby with a friend.
Leaving the baby in the care of a friend while she works.
I sing every evening,
Highlighting the singer's commitment to nightly performances.
I only see her now and then.
Indicating infrequent meetings with the woman due to their conflicting schedules.
I come to her at midnight,
Describing the singer's nighttime visits to the woman.
When 'bout half the world's asleep,
Reference to the nighttime when a significant part of the world is asleep.
And she puts me back together,
Describing emotional support or healing provided by the woman before the singer leaves.
In the hours before I leave.
Indicating a cyclical pattern of emotional dependence and support.
Her apartment is down on Perry Street,
Providing a specific location where the woman lives.
There's a tree in her backyard.
Adding details about the woman's residence, including a tree in the backyard.
Her old man had left her,
Explaining that the woman's partner has left her for the coast.
He just took off for the coast,
Describing the circumstances of the woman's abandonment.
And I caught her on the rebound
Revealing that the singer connected with the woman during a vulnerable period.
When I needed her the most.
Expressing the singer's need for emotional support during a challenging time.
