Big Moon
Yearning under the Big Moon: A Tale of Longing
Lyrics
Won’t you come see me
Expresses a desire for someone to visit
Where I’m stayin’ tonight
Specifies the location where the speaker is staying tonight
Won’t you come see me
Reiterates the invitation for someone to come and visit
Where I'm stayin’ tonight
Repeats the location where the speaker is staying tonight
It’s a fancy hotel
Describes the accommodation as a luxurious hotel
Just down the street on the right
Provides additional details about the hotel's location
You can't come to my room
Expresses a limitation on entering the speaker's room
That’s more than I could stand
Stresses that entering the room is beyond what the speaker can tolerate
You can't come to my room
Reiterates the restriction on entering the speaker's room
That’s more than I could stand
Reaffirms the difficulty the speaker would have if someone entered their room
We could meet downstairs
Suggests an alternative meeting place downstairs to avoid room intrusion
Get a drink at the bar and hold hands
Proposes a romantic scenario of getting a drink at the bar and holding hands
You won’t write me back
Expresses frustration over not receiving written communication
You won’t return my calls
Highlights the lack of response to phone calls
You won’t write me back
Reiterates the absence of written communication
You won’t return my calls
Reiterates the lack of response to phone calls
You go underground so far
Describes the person's withdrawal or avoidance
You can’t see the stars at all
Metaphorically suggests that the person is emotionally distant, unable to see the positive aspects
That moon is so big
Draws attention to the size of the moon
Won’t you come watch it with me
Reiterates the invitation to watch the moon together
That moon is so big
Emphasizes the significant size of the moon
Won’t you come watch it with me
Repeats the invitation to share the experience of observing the moon
At the roof of this fancy hotel
Suggests a romantic setting at the rooftop of the hotel
We could spend eternity
Expresses the idea of spending an extended period, possibly forever, together
You and me
Addresses the invitation to spend time together, emphasizing a sense of unity
