Dakota Bound
Lost in Love's Dusk: Pat McKillen's Dakota Bound Unveiled
Lyrics
I'm caught in the downturn
I am experiencing a difficult period or setback
I'm caught in a lie
I am entangled in a falsehood
I've wasted a moment
I've let a valuable moment slip away
I've wasted a life
I've wasted a significant portion of my life
Just waiting on the morning
I'm patiently awaiting the morning
I've grown sick of the night
I've grown weary of the darkness or difficult times
I can't shake the memory
I cannot forget the image reflected in your eyes
That look in your eyes
Referring to a memorable look from the past
So put me on the next plane
Please arrange for my transportation on the next plane
Dakota bound
Destination is Dakota
Put me on the next train
Requesting to be put on the next train
Headed south
Heading southward
Where you gonna run to?
Questioning where one can escape to
Where you gonna run to now?
Raising the same question
I open a window
Opening up a window, possibly symbolizing seeking change
I unlock a door
Unlocking a door, indicating a desire for freedom
But I can't make a phone call
Avoiding making a phone call to prevent conflict
'cause it might start a war
Fear of starting a war through communication
Put me on the next plane
Reiterating the request to be on the next plane
Dakota bound
Reaffirming the destination as Dakota
Put me on the next train
Stating the preference for the next train
Headed south
Continuing the journey southward
Where you gonna run to?
Posing the question of escape destination again
Where you gonna run to now?
Repeating the question of where to run to
I'm sittin' at a red light
Waiting at a red light, possibly symbolizing a pause or obstacle
You go passing me by
Observing someone passing by during the pause
Still can't shake the memory
The lingering memory of a past look in the eyes
That look in your eyes
Recalling a significant gaze
So put me on the next plane
Reiterating the desire to be on the next plane
Dakota bound
Destination remains Dakota
Put me on the next train
Preference for the next train to head south
Headed south
Continuing the journey in a southern direction
Where you gonna run to?
Repeating the question of escape destination
Where you gonna run to?
Repeating the question of where to run to
Where you gonna run to now?
Posing the question again
Where you gonna run to now?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the search for a destination
