Another Night
Yearning in Solitude: "Another Night" by Ricky Skaggs Explained
Lyrics
The wind is blowin' around my cabin
The wind is blowing around my cabin.
I hate to hear that mournful sound
I dislike hearing that mournful sound.
I'm all alone and so downhearted
I'm feeling lonely and disheartened.
Since my true love ain't around
Because my true love is not with me.
I hate to see that sun a-sinkin'
I dislike witnessing the sunset.
Another night to toss and turn
It's another night of restlessness.
Another night to dream about her
Another night where I'll dream of her.
Another night for her I'll yearn
Another night where I'll long for her.
She had no cause to go and leave me
She had no reason to leave me.
For I had never done her wrong
I never mistreated her.
She left her home and little children
She abandoned her home and children.
Out with another man she's gone
She's gone off with another man.
I hate to see that sun a-sinkin'
I dislike witnessing the sunset.
Another night to toss and turn
Another night filled with restlessness.
Another night to dream about her
Another night where I'll dream of her.
Another night for her I'll yearn
Another night where I'll long for her.
The children, they are sound a-sleepin'
The children are peacefully asleep.
They don't know their mother's gone
They are unaware of their mother's absence.
What will I do when they awaken?
I'm uncertain how to handle their awakening.
Can I tell them of their mother's wrong?
Can I explain their mother's actions to them?
I hate to see that sun a-sinkin'
I dislike witnessing the sunset.
Another night to toss and turn
Another night of restlessness.
Another night to dream about her
Another night where I'll dream of her.
Another night for her I'll yearn
Another night where I'll long for her.
