Cemetery Trot
Nocturnal Longing: The Randys' Cemetery Trot Unveiled
Lyrics
Feeling kind of low
Feeling a sense of sadness or emotional downturn
Are you at home?
Asking if the person is currently at home
I just needed to know
Expressing a need for information or connection
You should have
Suggesting a missed opportunity or action
Should have known
Emphasizing the expectation that the person should have been aware
That I was the one
Claiming a position as the significant other or special person
The only one
Asserting exclusivity in their relationship
I've got all night
Expressing the availability of time throughout the night
And I can wait outside
Offering to wait outside as a sign of commitment
Just to see you
Expressing the desire to see the person
Pass by your window
Describing the act of waiting outside the person's window
I've got all night
Reiterating the availability of time throughout the night
I've got all night
Emphasizing the ample time on hand
And nowhere better to go
Indicating a lack of alternative plans or destinations
Feeling all alone
Expressing a sense of loneliness or isolation
Are you at home
Repeating the inquiry about the person's presence at home
I just needed to know
Reiterating the need for information or connection
You should have
Suggesting a missed opportunity or action (similar to line 4)
Should have known
Reiterating the expectation that the person should have been aware
That I was the one
Reaffirming the claim as the significant other or special person
The only one
Reasserting exclusivity in their relationship
I've got all night
Expressing the continued availability of time throughout the night
And I can wait outside
Repeating the offer to wait outside as a sign of commitment
Just to see you
Reiterating the desire to see the person
Pass by your window
Describing the act of waiting outside the person's window (similar to line 12)
