Tomorrow Night in Baltimore
Yearning Shadows: Unveiling the Silent Pain in Tomorrow Night's Baltimore
Lyrics
Her head rolls back and forth
Describing the woman's head movement, possibly in contemplation or distress.
Against the billows of her long black shiny hair
Her long, shiny black hair is a visual element, possibly highlighting sensuality.
As she contemplates the ecstasy
She is thinking about the ecstasy of another love that she desires.
Of some other love that now she wished was there
Expressing regret for a love that she wishes she had.
If she could only realize that the love I have could beckon her command
Desire for her to recognize the love he offers and respond to his commands.
Instead of laughing endlessly and pushing back advances with her hands
She laughs and rejects advances, possibly playful or dismissive behavior.
Every night I see her leaves a nightmare of illusions when she's gone
Her absence at night creates nightmares and a lingering feeling of pain.
And it leaves a longing feeling in a man with a pain that lingers on
Expressing the emotional impact of her departure on the man.
The gaudy goodbye can't replace the girlish giggle of her sweet hello
Contrasting the impactful hello with a less significant goodbye.
But tonight I've made my crumbled mind up that I'll never ever let her go
Determination not to let her go despite difficulties.
Too many nights I've watched her tease
Observing her teasing behavior on multiple nights.
By shifting all her weight from hip to hip
Describing her physical movements, possibly flirtatious.
And with her hands brush back the falling strands
Details of her gestures, brushing back falling strands of hair.
That cover up her satin lips
Her lips covered by hair, possibly symbolizing hidden emotions or thoughts.
She struts upon the stage and her fallen victims are calling out for more
She captivates an audience on stage, leaving them wanting more.
But she leaves them stranded helplessly and exits to her dressing room door
She leaves her admirers stranded and heads to her dressing room.
Tonight I'm gonna take her, I've infiltrated past the guarded door
The speaker plans to approach her, overcoming obstacles to get close.
But she just hurries by me carrying all those scanty costumes that she wore
She ignores him, carrying costumes, possibly signifying her focus on her career.
And asks a sawed off cigar smoking cat if he would open up the door
She interacts with a cigar-smoking person, possibly a backstage figure.
Then she told him to load the baggage
She instructs someone to load baggage, preparing for the next performance.
Because they open tomorrow night in baltimore
They are opening a show tomorrow night in Baltimore, indicating the urgency.
God if I have to crawl, I'm gonna be there tomorrow night in baltimore
Expressing determination to be present in Baltimore, even if it requires crawling.
