Howl
Yearning Howl: Embracing Night's Secrets and Longing for Connection
Lyrics
We expect dawn around morning
We anticipate the arrival of dawn in the morning.
I trust the rise of the sun
I have faith in the sun's ascent.
I've been up late with the night birds
I've stayed awake into the late hours with the night birds.
Begging the dawn not to come
Pleading for the delay of dawn's arrival.
Begging the dawn not to come
Repetition of the plea for dawn not to come.
Oh, how I don't want to leave you
Expressing a strong reluctance to part.
So much I can't hardly bare
Feeling an overwhelming emotional burden.
I have things I must tend to
Acknowledging responsibilities that must be attended to.
Will you stay as you are, lying there
Requesting the partner to stay in their current state.
Would you stay as you are, lying there
Repetition of the request for the partner to stay.
Kissing the rain off my shoulders
Symbolic gesture of intimacy, kissing rain off shoulders.
Answering questions with stares
Responding to inquiries with non-verbal communication.
Holding my chest like I'm a wild horse
Metaphorical imagery of holding oneself like a wild horse, on the brink of escaping fear.
About to run away scared
Expressing the imminent desire to flee in fear.
About to run away scared
Repetition of the desire to run away scared.
Sun kicks the moon off the mountain
Depicting the sun displacing the moon from the mountain, signaling the need to depart.
That is my cue to leave
Indicating the obligation to leave.
The long tears of women are silent,
Highlighting the silent tears of women to avoid disturbing those who are asleep.
So they don't wake those who sleep
Emphasizing the need for quietness to protect the sleeping.
So they don't wake those who sleep
Repetition of the need for silence to preserve sleep.
Howl at the moon
Invoking the act of howling at the moon.
Howl at the moon, I'll come find you
A promise to come find the one who howls at the moon.
Howl at the moon
Reiteration of the act of howling at the moon.
Howl at the moon, I'll come find you
Reassurance of coming to find the one who howls at the moon.
I'll come get you
Reiteration of the commitment to come and get the partner.
Hope that you haven't changed your mind
Expressing hope that the partner hasn't changed their mind.
I'll come get you
Repetition of the commitment to come and get the partner.
Hope that you haven't changed your mind, baby
Reiterating the hope that the partner hasn't changed their mind, using an endearing term.
Be mine, be mine, be mine, be mine, be mine
An earnest plea for the partner to be exclusive and committed.
