Valerie
Yearning Reflections: Valerie's Echo Across the Water
Lyrics
Well sometimes I go out by myself
Expresses the singer occasionally going out alone.
cnd I look across the water
Observing something across the water, suggesting distance or separation.
cnd I think of all the things, what you're doing
Thinking about the actions or life of someone special.
cnd in my head I paint a picture
Imagining and creating a mental image in the mind.
Ever since I've come on home, Well my body's been a mess
Since returning home, the singer's well-being is troubled.
cnd I've missed your ginger hair, cnd the way you like to dress
Expressing a longing for specific qualities in the missed person.
Won't you come on over, Stop making a fool out of me
Inviting the person to come over and stop causing embarrassment.
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
An explicit request for Valerie to come over.
Valerie? Valerie? Valerie?
Repetition of Valerie, emphasizing the plea or desire.
Did you have to go to jail, Put your house up on for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
Asking about legal troubles, selling property, and having a good lawyer.
I hope you didn't catch a tan, I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
Expressing hope for the person's well-being and finding the right partner.
cnd are you shoppin' anywhere, Changed the color of you hair, are you busy?
Asking about the person's current activities, like shopping and changing appearance.
cnd did you have to pay the fine, You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
Inquiring if there were legal consequences and if the person is still struggling.
Since I've come on home, Well my body's been a mess
