Nightwind
Whispers of the Night: A Tale of Love and Goodbyes
Lyrics
Hey ol' nightwind it's good to hear from you again
Expressing familiarity and comfort in hearing from the nightwind again.
You say you're only just passing through
The nightwind claims to be transient, just passing through.
You know what to say if you're blowing that way
Suggesting that the speaker knows the right words if the nightwind is heading in a particular direction.
I'd be so much obliged to you
The speaker would greatly appreciate any assistance the nightwind can provide.
Go tell my baby that I am happy
Instructing the nightwind to inform the speaker's loved one that the speaker is content and not returning.
And that I never am coming home
Affirming the speaker's happiness and commitment to not returning home.
Make up some reason I had to leave him
Asking the nightwind to create a plausible reason for the speaker's departure to share with the loved one.
The only true love I've ever known
Emphasizing that the loved one is the only true love the speaker has ever known.
Hey moonlight you know I missed you last night
Greeting the moonlight and expressing a sense of longing from the previous night.
Those storm clouds don't know my pain
Implying that storm clouds are unaware of the speaker's emotional pain.
Or maybe I'll find it's that we're two of a kind
Suggesting a possible connection between the speaker and the moonlight, both bringing rain wherever they go.
Wherever we go we just bring rain
Highlighting a pattern of bringing difficulty or sadness wherever the speaker and the moonlight go.
Go tell my baby that I am happy
Reiterating the message for the nightwind to inform the loved one about the speaker's happiness and absence.
And that I never am coming home
Reaffirming the speaker's commitment to not returning home.
Make up some reason I had to leave him
Continuing the request for the nightwind to invent a reason for the departure.
The only true love I've ever known
Repeating the sentiment that the loved one is the only true love the speaker has ever known.
God knows I'm dying, he knows I'm crying
Acknowledging a deep emotional struggle and tears, suggesting the possibility of the loved one finding happiness with someone new.
He could be happy with someone new
Asking the nightwind to create a reason for the departure, emphasizing the loved one's potential for happiness with someone else.
Make up some reason I had to leave him
Repeating the request for the nightwind to invent a reason for the departure, underscoring the loved one as the only true love.
The only true love I've ever known
Reiterating the idea of leaving the loved one, emphasizing the exclusivity of the true love known by the speaker.
The only true love I've ever known
Emphasizing, once again, that the loved one is the only true love the speaker has ever known.
