Lyrics
My anger is a storm with no rain
Expressing that anger is intense but lacks resolution or impact.
Thoughts take you away again
Thoughts distract and separate, leading to emotional detachment.
And when you leave me where do you go
Pondering where the person goes mentally when leaving emotionally.
Already I've forgotten that you wait for me
Forgetting the waiting commitment when emotions take over.
At the end of my thoughts I twist and turn
Inner turmoil and confusion at the conclusion of contemplation.
Myself a knot
A metaphorical self-reference as a tangled and conflicted entity.
You remain in this my age of reason
Addressing someone who remains constant in the speaker's rationality.
You love me truly truly
Affirmation of true love from the addressed person.
If I withhold nothing it is my bleary eyed duty
Accepting the duty to be open and transparent, despite weariness.
I speak to my own
Engaging with one's inner self or conscience.
Wooden knees neath the table
Symbolic reference to vulnerability beneath a surface of strength.
I have the love of family
Expressing the enduring love and support of family.
Bright as judgment in my wake
Comparing familial love to the brightness of judgment.
Hands down the grain of wood
Hands moving along the natural grain, symbolizing connection.
Wrought iron eighteen cedar
Mention of materials, possibly representing strength and endurance.
If is a comfort for me to know
Finding comfort in the belief that needs will be fulfilled.
You will it that I need her
Trusting the addressed person to provide what is necessary.
She remains in this my age of reason
Similar to line 8, referring to someone's constancy in rationality.
She loves me truly truly
Reiteration of true love from the addressed person.
If I withhold nothing it is my bleary eyed duty
Committing to transparency and openness despite weariness.
Your tears fall at the drop of my hat
Highlighting the impact of the speaker's actions on the addressed person.
Trouble and suffering yeah yeah yeah all of that
Acknowledging the presence of trouble and suffering in the relationship.
I'm wearing down your Sunday shoes
Indicating a burden on the addressed person, affecting their choices.
Out of my head it is you I choose
Choosing the addressed person despite being overwhelmed.
Lovely feathers I can't refuse
Refusing tempting but superficial attractions.
It's like the moon just walked in the room
Comparing the impact of the addressed person to the entrance of the moon.
Hey sober in spirit yeah sober in mind
Being clear-headed and rational in spirit and mind.
A holy fuzz comes through the line
A mysterious or divine presence influencing the situation.
In his time
Possibly referring to divine timing or intervention.
You remain in this my age of reason
Reiterating the constant presence of the addressed person in rationality.
You love me truly truly
Reaffirmation of true love from the addressed person.
If I withhold nothing it is my bleary eyed duty
Commitment to complete openness and transparency despite weariness.
