Lonesome Night
Longing in the Night: A Tale of Love's Misunderstanding
Lyrics
On a lonesome night so far from home
Feeling lonely on a night distant from home.
I heard a mournful sound
Hearing a sorrowful sound.
The girl I love is calling me
The person he loves is calling him.
She thinks I turned her down.
She believes he rejected her.
In the pale moonlight we quarreled one night
They argued under the pale moonlight in the past.
Our heart's were young and free
Their hearts were once young and free.
I left her there and on that night
He left her that night, suspecting her of infidelity.
I though she was two-timing me.
He thought she was betraying him.
On a lonesome night so far from home
Experiencing loneliness again, far from home.
I heard a mournful sound
Hearing a mournful sound once more.
The girl I love is calling me
The person he loves is still calling him, believing he rejected her.
She thinks I turned her down.
Reiteration of her belief that he turned her down.
She begged me not to leave her there
She pleaded for him not to leave, swearing her fidelity.
She swore that she'd been true
She claimed to be true, but a jealous heart struggles to trust.
But a jealous heart cannot believe
Expressing the difficulty of believing her due to jealousy.
Oh, how I long for you.
Longing for the person despite the doubts.
On a lonesome night so far from home
Repetition of the theme of loneliness away from home.
I heard a mournful sound
Hearing the same mournful sound.
The girl I love is calling me
Reiteration of the person he loves calling, thinking he rejected her.
She thinks I turned her down.
Repeating her belief that he turned her down.
She thinks I turned her down
Confirmation of her perception that he rejected her.
