Thinking of You
Echoes of Love and Loss: Marissa Nadler's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Thinking of you
Thinking of someone special
All through the morning
Continuous thoughts in the morning
I'm thinking of you
Continued thoughts of the same person
All through the evening
Persistent thoughts in the evening
I'm thinking of you
Ongoing reflections about the person
And the way that your holy water grew
Reference to something sacred and personal in connection with the person
I met a girl under the water
Encounter with another person underwater
It made me recall how I wanted a daughter
Reminiscing about the desire for a daughter
But you never gave me nothing that I could hold on to
Feeling deprived of something tangible from the relationship
But I wrote you letters by the phone
Expressing emotions through written letters near the phone
And I wrote you every night alone
Frequent solitary letter-writing as a form of communication
But who are you walking around with
Questioning the company or association of the person
Buttercup
Addressing someone affectionately as "Buttercup"
He was my lord
Describing a significant relationship where the person was considered a lord
And I was his lady
Reciprocal roles of being a lady to the lord
But I soon grew tired of the lazy days
Growing weary of uneventful days in the relationship
When I moved away and I thought of him often
Reflecting on memories after moving away
He came to me nights in my rose colored dreams
Experiencing dreams involving the person
Thinking of you
Reiteration of ongoing thoughts about someone
All through the morning
Continued thoughts in the morning, repeating the sentiment
I'm thinking of you
Reiteration of continuous thoughts about the person
All through the evening
Repetition of persistent thoughts in the evening
I'm thinking of you
Reiterating ongoing reflections about the person
And the way that your holy water grew
Recalling a personal and sacred aspect of the person
But I wrote you letters by the phone
Continued expression of emotions through written letters by the phone
And I wrote you every night alone
Persistently writing letters every night alone
But who are you walking around with
Questioning the company or association of the person, repeating the sentiment
Buttercup
Reiterating the affectionate address of "Buttercup"
