Down My Block
Yearning Echoes: Love's Call Down My Block
Lyrics
What I want to do
Expressing a desire or intention.
Is to get my ever-loving hands on you
Expressing a strong emotional connection and longing.
I want to see you coming down my block
Desiring the person to visit the speaker's neighborhood.
What you ought to do
Suggesting a course of action for the listener to return.
Is to come back where I can take care of you
Expressing a desire to care for the listener.
Do you remember how we used to talk
Recalling past conversations and memories.
Have you been out wandering through the land alone
Questioning if the listener has been traveling alone.
Now I want to have you at home
Expressing a desire for the listener to return home.
How I long to be with you tonight and talk
Expressing a strong desire to be with the listener and talk.
Oh I want to see you coming down my block
Reiterating the desire for the listener to visit.
So I sit right there
Describing the speaker's current location and state.
Looking out the window from my back stair
Observing the surroundings from a specific vantage point.
How long til you'll be walkin' up my walk
Asking when the listener will arrive at the speaker's home.
What you are gonna find
Describing the speaker's determination and certainty.
Is a man who believes that he's made up his mind
Expressing anticipation for the listener's arrival.
I long to see you coming down my block
Reiterating the desire to see the listener on the speaker's block.
While you've been out wandering through the dusty world
Reflecting on the listener's travels in the outside world.
I can hardly help it worry for you little girl
Expressing concern for the listener's well-being.
Have you been out wandering through the land alone
Repeating the question about the listener's solo travels.
Now I want to have you at home home home
Reiterating the desire for the listener to return home.
How I long to be with you tonight and talk
Expressing a strong desire to be with the listener and talk.
Oh I want to see you coming down my block
Reiterating the desire to see the listener on the speaker's block.
Oh I want to see you coming down my block
Repeating the strong desire to see the listener on the speaker's block.
Oh I want to see you coming down my block
-How I long to be with you tonight and talk
Reiterating the strong desire to be with the listener and talk.
Oh I want to see you coming down my block
Final repetition of the desire to see the listener on the speaker's block.
