Lonesome
Echoes of Longing: Saint Etienne's Lonesome Tale
Lyrics
I just found your letter doesn't mean a thing
I've received your letter, but it holds no significance
You said things should be better
You mentioned that things should improve for both of us
For you and me
Referencing a desire for a better situation in the relationship
Hey Baby if you want to leave
Addressing the possibility of separation
I can come as will
I am willing to accept it without resistance
(Cleaning?) and change of scene
Possibly referring to the need for a fresh start or change
Bare foot in this world
Feeling vulnerable or exposed in this world
You left late this morning
You departed late in the morning without bidding farewell
Didn't say good bye
The lack of a proper goodbye intensifies feelings of loneliness
And I feel so lonesome I could cry
Expressing profound loneliness, evoking the desire to cry
I used to be so sure of you I didn't even try
Previously confident in the relationship, no longer making an effort
Lost side of the things you do
Lost sight of the positive aspects of the relationship
For you and I
Highlighting actions or sacrifices made for the relationship
You left late this morning
Reiteration of a departure without proper goodbyes
Didn't say good bye
The absence of farewell contributes to the sense of loneliness
And I feel so lonesome, I could cry
Reaffirming the intense feeling of loneliness, potentially to tears
A way from home
Away from home, emphasizing the physical and emotional distance
And I feel so lonesome, I could cry
Repetition of the profound loneliness and the potential for tears
I know you are happy
Acknowledging the partner's happiness, possibly contrasting personal feelings
You told me your self
Confirmation of the partner expressing their happiness
Hey maybe not exactly oh but I believe
Accepting the partner's happiness, even if not entirely believed
You left late this morning
Repeating the departure without proper goodbyes
Didn't say good bye
Highlighting the emotional impact of the lack of goodbyes
And I feel so lonesome, I could cry
Reiterating the intense loneliness and potential for crying
Yeah I feel so lonesome, I could cry
Emphasizing the depth of loneliness with a cry
And I feel so lonesome, I could cry
Repetition of the profound loneliness and the potential for tears
