Fallen Angel
Longing in Moonlight: Rutherford's Tale of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
Where are you now, I wish I knew
Expressing a sense of longing and uncertainty about the current whereabouts of the person addressed.
I'd have open arms, I'd run to you
Expressing a willingness to embrace and run towards the person if their location were known.
You are the love, I want in my life
Affirmation of the person's significance and importance as a love interest.
You are the one, I want as my wife
Expressing a desire for a deeper commitment and partnership, possibly marriage.
But until I hear you on the phone, I stay alone
Feeling lonely and yearning for the person's voice on the phone for companionship.
There may be many, girls that I like
Acknowledging the existence of other attractive individuals but emphasizing the unique importance of the addressed person.
You're the only, one in my life
Stressing the exclusivity of the person's role in the speaker's life.
I dream of you, each night in my bed
Expressing a deep emotional connection by dreaming about the person every night.
Wish you were here, instead of in my head
Wishing for physical presence rather than the person being a figment of imagination.
But until I have you in my home, I stay alone
Continuing to experience solitude until the person is physically present in the speaker's home.
Will I see you tomorrow on the street
Raising questions about the possibility of encountering the person in a public space.
What will I say when we finally meet
Anticipating the challenge of finding words when finally meeting the person face to face.
Cause you don't know how long I've
Highlighting the duration of the speaker's wait and search for the addressed person.
Waited and searched for you
Expressing the emotional investment and effort in finding the person.
You don't know how many
Emphasizing the emotional struggles and tears experienced in the absence of the person.
Nights I've cried these blues
Acknowledging the depth of emotional pain through the reference to crying blues.
So, until hold you in my arms
Expressing a desire to hold and love the person, using charms as a metaphor.
Love you with my charms
Committing to staying at home alone and crying until physical closeness is achieved.
I'll stay at home alone and cry
Expressing hope for a future where the speaker and the person can share moments under the moon.
Hope that someday soon
Anticipating a time when the speaker can hold the person tightly under the moonlight.
We can share a moon
Reiteration of the hope for a shared future and closeness.
And right there I'll hold you tight
Envisioning a lasting connection and commitment through holding the person tight.
Will I see you tomorrow on the street
Repetition of the question about encountering the person on the street, emphasizing uncertainty.
What will I say when we finally meet
Reiteration of the challenge of finding words when finally meeting the person.
Cause you don't know how long I've
Repeating the theme of waiting and searching, underlining the speaker's persistence.
Waited and searched for you
Re-emphasizing the time and effort invested in searching for the person.
You don't know how many
