Black Hills
Echoes of Love and Birth in the Black Hills
Lyrics
A long time thinking
A prolonged period of contemplation
A long time wed
A lengthy duration of commitment or union
With the darkness that gambles
Engaging with the uncertainties and risks represented by darkness
And pulled out my head
Overcoming challenges or escaping from a situation with newfound clarity
And the steeple bends
The church tower inclines towards the west
To the western land
Heading towards the western territory
All smoke in my rafters
Smoke lingering in the rafters, possibly symbolic of memories or experiences
Brought to your bed
Bringing the aftermath or consequences to your shared resting place
Stones, stones, stones
Repeated emphasis on stones, suggesting significance or weightiness
Are Studded for you
Adornment or preparation for someone special
In the black hills
Reference to a location, possibly metaphorical, with historical or emotional importance
And babies birthing
New life emerging within the shared spaces
Through our rooms
Occurrences within the intimate spaces of the relationship
We've thrown on the table
Symbols placed on a surface, possibly representing shared experiences
We've carved out the moon
Crafting or creating something significant under the influence of the moon
A simple something
A modest yet meaningful gesture to express emotional movement
To show I'm moved
Indication of being deeply affected or influenced
I was born in your river
Originating in a significant and influential place
I'll wash down to you
A commitment to flow towards the other person like a river
Stones, stones, stones
Reiteration of the importance or weight of stones
Are Studded for you
Preparation or dedication for someone special, echoed from earlier lines
In the black hills
Reiteration of the connection to the significant location of the black hills
