Louisa
Echoes of Longing: Weeping Willows' Ballad for Louisa
Lyrics
Louisa I am weeping for you still
Louisa, the subject of the song, still evokes deep emotions and sadness in the singer.
When I needed your warm caress
During times of emotional need, the singer relied on Louisa's comforting touch.
I could always come to your adress
Louisa's place was always open and welcoming to the singer.
But when you put your hand in mine
When they held hands, it felt temporary or fleeting.
I knew it was only for a while
The singer understood that Louisa's commitment was transient, not long-lasting.
I was only your part-time desire
The singer was only a passing fancy or a temporary interest for Louisa.
Louisa, in whose arms are you resting tonight?
The singer wonders who Louisa is seeking comfort from at the moment.
Louisa, I am waiting for you still
Despite the situation, the singer is patiently waiting for Louisa.
When you told me that we were through
Louisa ended their relationship, causing mutual sorrow.
Then I knew that you'd been crying too
Her tears upon the breakup indicated her emotional pain as well.
'Cause you couldn't settle down
Louisa couldn't commit or settle into a stable relationship.
You felt as if you would drown
She felt overwhelmed, as if she was drowning in the commitment.
But I knew that you really loved me true
Despite doubts, the singer believes Louisa truly loved them.
Louisa, in whose arms are you resting tonight?
Questioning who Louisa seeks comfort from currently.
Louisa, I am weeping for you still
The singer's grief for Louisa continues.
Louisa, whose heart are you testing tonight?
Wondering whose emotions Louisa is putting to the test at present.
Louisa, always looking for a thrill
Louisa is depicted as always searching for excitement or novelty.
Louisa, Louisa, I am waiting for you still
The singer reaffirms their enduring wait for Louisa.
Louisa...
The song ends with the repetition of Louisa's name, emphasizing her significance.
