Tall Dark Haired Ladies
Reckless Hearts and Moonless Evenings
Lyrics
Not much gets set right when you leave out of spite
Leaving out of spite doesn't usually resolve issues; setting things right is challenging in such situations.
But he'd turned a cold shoulder to better advice
The person ignored good advice and chose a cold, indifferent approach.
That long westward road is old and worn as the sun
The road to the west, possibly symbolizing a journey or life path, is well-worn like the aging sun.
From the ones seeking answers love failed to provide
People seeking answers from love have been disappointed and left unsatisfied.
Now the years weren't unkind, but they kept their distance
Time has passed without being harsh, but it kept a distance from the plans that were made.
Aloof and indifferent to the plans that were made
Years were indifferent to the plans, aloof and uncaring about them.
Till all his nights were spent just to feel young again
Nights were spent trying to recapture youth, indicating a sense of loss or regret.
And his mornings for paying reality's wage
Mornings are for facing the consequences of reality, possibly the aftermath of past decisions.
Come all you tall dark haired ladies
Inviting tall dark haired ladies, perhaps metaphorically representing a certain type of person.
Don't you know there's still hearts here for the breaking
Despite past heartbreaks, there are still open hearts willing to experience love.
There'll be spirits to raise and sad songs to ease you down low
Opportunities for joy and solace in music and companionship for those willing to take them.
What's left of him's there and is waiting
Remnants of the person are still present, waiting for a connection.
These moonless evenings were made for the reckless and jaded
Dark, moonless evenings are ideal for those feeling reckless and jaded, possibly seeking escape.
Here's your chance for smiling and saying how you told him so
An invitation to reflect on and share satisfaction in predicting or warning about the consequences.
It's a violent affair seeing love turn to pairing
Love turning to pairing can be a tumultuous and painful process.
When the suffering is shared by those left in its wake
Shared suffering affects those left behind after love has transformed.
How they fight for an age in the smoke and the wind
Fighting for love in challenging circumstances only to end up in undesirable situations.
Just to land in dark corners when bend turns to break
Efforts to navigate difficulties often result in dark, unexpected outcomes.
Well received or rebuffed, is it ever enough
The reception, whether positive or negative, may not satisfy the hunger for love.
When those poor hungry souls learn to love and then leave
Learning to love and then leave can leave individuals emotionally impoverished.
For the night has a way of turning blessings to curses
Night has the power to turn blessings into curses, suggesting a transformative nature.
He wears all the workings right there on his sleeve
