Last Night
A River of Reflections: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Last Night
Lyrics
Last night you were trying me on
Last night, you were experimenting with being in a relationship with me
And before that I was trying too much
Prior to that, I was putting in too much effort or trying too hard
I walk beside the river with you
I stroll beside the river with you
I can see the strings, can you see them too?
I perceive the underlying connections or dynamics; can you see them too?
We’ve been careful not to play no more games
We've been cautious not to engage in any more emotional games
and spend a lifetime just forgetting your name
We choose to spend a lifetime just erasing the memory of your name
Underneath the broken face of the moon
Beneath the damaged appearance of the moon
When you’re far, I’ll be remembering you
When you are distant, I'll be reminiscing about you
Lately no more talking around
Recently, we refrain from engaging in casual conversation
I always answer when you’re calling me out
I consistently respond when you challenge or confront me
I never look back, and wish I said more
I don't dwell on the past and regret not expressing myself more
But tomorrow was too soon a detour
But the future seemed too soon for a change in direction
Don’t my baby look so old and brand new
Doesn't my beloved appear both aged and fresh?
When she’s walking down along the bayou?
Especially when she walks along the bayou?
Side to side, as the sea takes the moon
Walking side by side, like the sea taking the moon
When you’re far I’ll be remembering you
When you are distant, I'll be reminiscing about you
In the morning when she’s calling my name
In the morning when she calls my name
She paints a picture I could visit and stay
She creates an image I could immerse myself in and never leave
Holy in the quietest way
Holy in the most peaceful manner
Repeats herself, but never says it the same
She repeats herself but never expresses it in the same way
How I love the way she moves up for them
I adore the way she moves for others
But keeps one leg just dangling free in the wind
Yet she keeps one leg freely hanging in the wind
Side to side, the modern mansions we see,
Walking side by side, observing modern mansions
The ancient wall where baby’s sitting with me
By the ancient wall where the baby is sitting with me
Side to side, swaying down in the breeze
Walking side by side, swaying in the breeze
The ancient wall where baby’s swaying with me
By the ancient wall where the baby is swaying with me
