Rainy Night House
Rainy Night Revelations: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
It was a rainy night
Setting the scene of a rainy night
We took a taxi to your mother's home
Taking a taxi to the partner's mother's home
She went to Florida and left you
Partner's mother left for Florida, leaving the partner alone
With your father's gun, alone
Partner is left alone with the father's gun
Upon her small white bed
Describing the setting on the small white bed
I fell into a dream
The narrator falls into a dream
You sat up all the night and watched me
Partner stays awake all night, watching the narrator
To see, who in the world I might be
Curiosity about the narrator's identity
I am from the Sunday school
Narrator's background of being from Sunday school
I sing soprano in the upstairs choir
Narrator sings soprano in the upstairs choir
You are a holy man
Partner is portrayed as a holy man on the F.M. radio
On the F.M. radio
Narrator stays awake all night, watching the partner
I sat up all the night and watched thee
Curiosity about the partner's identity
To see, who in the world you might be
Continuation of the curiosity about the partner
You called me beautiful
Partner calls the narrator beautiful
You called your mother, she was very tanned
Partner calls their mother, who is very tanned
So you packed your tent and you went
Partner leaves to live in Arizona sand after packing a tent
To live out in the Arizona sand
Explanation of the partner's departure
You are a refugee
Portrayal of the partner as a refugee from a wealthy family
From a wealthy family
Details about the partner's background
You gave up all the golden factories
Partner gave up wealth for an unknown reason
To see, who in the world you might be
Continuation of curiosity about the partner's identity
