Delta Lady
Delta Lady's Longing: A Tender Journey of Love and Connection
Lyrics
Woman of the country now that I found you
Expresses finding a woman in a rural area.
Longing in your soft and fertile delta
Highlights a desire in her fertile and nurturing surroundings.
And I whisper sighs to satisfy the longin'
Talking softly to fulfill her desires.
For the warmth and tender shelter of my body
Expresses a longing for physical closeness and comfort.
Oh, you're my, yes you're my, delta lady
Declares the woman as his beloved, specifically his 'Delta Lady'.
Yes, you're my, me oh my, delta lady
Reiterates her status as his beloved.
Please don't ask how many times I found you
Asks not to inquire about the frequency of finding her.
Standing wet and naked in the garden
Describes finding her exposed in nature.
And I think of days and different ways I held you
Recalling various intimate moments they shared.
We were closely touchin', yes our heart was beatin'
Highlights physical closeness and the rhythm of their hearts.
Oh you're my, yes you're my, delta lady
Reaffirms her role as his beloved, the 'Delta Lady'.
And you're my, me oh my, delta lady
Repeats her significance in his life.
Oh, when I'm home again in England
Anticipating thoughts of her when back in England.
I'll think of you, love (think about you, oh, I think about you)
Continues thoughts of her despite distance.
Because, I love you, love
Expresses love and affection for her.
There are concrete mountains in the city
Compares urban landscapes to rural areas.
An pretty city women live inside them
Describes city life and its inhabitants.
And yet it seems, the city scene is lackin' you
Despite city attractions, feeling incomplete without her.
I'm so glad you're waitin' for me in the country
Expresses happiness about her presence in the countryside.
Oh you're mine, yes you're my, delta lady
Reiterates her as his beloved, the 'Delta Lady'.
Said you're my, me oh my, my delta lady
Restates her significance in his life.
And you're mine, yes you're my, my delta lady
Affirms her belongingness to him.
Yeah you're mine, me oh my, delta lady
Repeats her importance in his life.
Said you're my, yes you're my, my delta lady
Confirms her role as his beloved, the 'Delta Lady'.
Yeah, you're mine
Reiterates possession of her affection.
