Sweet Rowena
Sweet Rowena's Rescue: A Love SOS by Joe Bonamassa and Vince Gill
Lyrics
Mayday, man over board
Emergency signal - someone needs help
I've fallen in love with you
Expressing love and affection
Baby, won't you save me?
Pleading for assistance or support
'Cause without you I just won't pull through
Expressing dependence on the person for survival or emotional stability
Sweet Rowena, won't you call my number?
Requesting communication from a person named Rowena
Sweet Rowena, won't you call my name?
Repeated request for contact from Rowena
Throw me a line, I'm going under
Metaphorically asking for help as if drowning
And my heart is going up in flames
Feeling intense emotional distress
SOS, I'm in distress
Expressing an urgent call for help
Drown in a pool of tears
Feeling overwhelmed by sadness or emotions
Angel, tell me how you feel?
Asking an angelic figure about emotions or thoughts
Spending your time up in here
Wondering about how someone spends their time
Sweet Rowena, won't you dial my number?
Repeated plea for communication from Rowena
Sweet Rowena, won't you call my name?
Continued request for contact from Rowena
Throw me a line, I'm going under
Seeking help metaphorically as if sinking
And my heart is going up in flames
Feeling intense emotional distress
911 no need to come
Stating no need for emergency services, possibly sarcasm
Just cancel my emergency (oh my emergency baby)
Humorous cancellation of an emergency plea
The sweetest thing, Lord, I've ever seen
Expressing admiration for Rowena
Is snuggled right here next to me
Describing closeness or intimacy with Rowena
Sweet Rowena, she dialed my number
Noting Rowena reaching out by phone
Sweet Rowena, she called my name
Confirmation of communication from Rowena
Pull back the covers, I'm going under (going under baby)
Metaphorically entering a situation or relationship
And my house is going up in flames (up in flames)
Feeling intense emotional distress
Sweet Rowena, she dialed my number (call my number baby)
Reiteration of Rowena contacting by phone
Sweet Rowena, she called my name
Confirmation of communication from Rowena
Pull back the covers, I?m going under (going under now)
Metaphorical surrender or immersion into a situation
Lord the house is going up in flames (oh in flames yes)
Feeling intense emotional distress
Oh yes it is baby
Confirmation of a dire situation, possibly a metaphorical house on fire
