Lyrics
Stood along this lonely track
Expressing a sense of loneliness while standing beside a railroad track
Watching the trains speed along
Observing trains moving swiftly along the track
Weep, oh, willow weep
Calling out to a weeping willow tree, symbolizing a plea for comfort
Let me hear your song
Requesting to hear the song of the willow tree to bring joy to the soul
So that my soul will be filled with joy
Desiring the weeping willow's song to fill the soul with happiness
My heart and I
Reference to the speaker's heart, emphasizing a personal connection
It alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked
Acknowledging a burden or curse carried by the heart
How long, how long will it takes me to be your man again?
Pleading to know how long it will take to regain the status of being someone's man
Tell me, sister, oh, how long
Asking a sister figure for insight on the duration of the separation
Listen to me
Encouraging others to listen as the speaker shares their feelings
As I try my best not to sigh
Attempting not to sigh and expressing effort in coping with emotions
I still feel the tears on my face
Still feeling tears on the face, indicating enduring emotional pain
I'm hated by you, and you're loved by me
Acknowledging a situation where the speaker is disliked but still loves the other
Though I can't take it, I try not to break it
Struggling to endure the situation without breaking emotionally
My heart and I
Reiterating the connection between the heart and the personal struggles
It alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked
Repeating the question about the duration of the separation and the path to reconciliation
How long, how long will it takes me to be your man again?
Seeking an answer to how long it will take to be together again
Oh, tell me now, how long
Repeating the plea for information on the length of separation
As I try my best not to sigh
Continuing efforts to suppress sighs and cope with emotional turmoil
I still feel the tears on my face
Persisting feeling of tears on the face, indicating ongoing emotional distress
I'm hated by you and you're loved by me
Highlighting a paradox where the speaker is disliked, but the feeling is reciprocated with love
Though I can't take it, I try not to break it
Struggling to endure the challenging emotions without breaking down
My heart and I
Reiterating the close connection between the heart and the speaker's internal struggles
