Iris Rose
Eternal Longing: Iris Rose Unveils Southern Nights and Sweet Goodbyes
Lyrics
Bez Valley never saw the day
Bez Valley never experienced a significant moment
Would've wanted you to watch me play
The speaker wishes someone had witnessed their performance
But I hear the songs there are better
There's a belief that the music in Bez Valley is superior
Thinking back to those Southern nights
Reflecting on memories of nights in the South
Give it all to hear you call me, "Guy"
Desire to hear a specific person calling them by name
But I know that's why we don't say never
Acknowledging the reluctance to use the word "never"
And I wish you'd stayed
Expressing a wish for someone to have stayed
Maybe I'd be the same
Speculating on how life might be different if that person stayed
That's how she goes, yeah, Iris Rose
Acceptance of the unpredictable nature of life, referencing Iris Rose
Let's go
Transition to a new thought or section of the song
Get along darlin', sweet goodbye
Encouraging someone to move on with a sweet farewell
Sit alone, together, watch the sky
Sharing a moment of solitude while observing the sky
You tell me not to cry so I just sigh
Being told not to cry, responding with a sigh
That's how she goes, yeah, Iris Rose
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of life, referencing Iris Rose
Think about you nearly every day
Frequent thoughts about a person
Dream a lot and it starts to sting
Dreaming intensifies, causing emotional pain
But I hear the wild winds are clever
Belief in the intelligence of the wild winds
Red sand keeps you waiting now
Waiting in anticipation, possibly in a symbolic red sand
Sing it loud so you don't have to shout
Singing loudly as a form of expression
And I'll say, "I wish you'd stayed"
Repetition of the wish for someone to have stayed
That's how she goes, yeah, Iris Rose
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of life, referencing Iris Rose
Iris Rose, Iris Rose
Repetition of the name Iris Rose
Iris Rose, Iris Rose, Iris Rose
