I was waiting all my life to know you - It sure felt that way when I was coming up with this interpretation for the very first time; It's like, I had wanted a boyfriend for as long as I could remember.

All about you - The more time I spent with him, the more I wanted to get to know him.

And now, I'm staring in your eyes in sheer fear - A part of me was afraid to communicate with him that I was catching romantic feelings. I guess the reason why I was as scared as I...

Lesbian song - 'I hear you talk GIRL', 'poked a little empty pie'. In short, it sounds to me like the singer had a lesbian love affair ('poked a little empty pie'), but her religious background ('sobriety') is too strong ('All God's children took their toll' - too many people said her feelings were sinful) and rejects her lesbian feelings ('your love has drawn red from my hands' like this love is akin to murder - having blood on your hands). So this love can only be a moment of weakness ('twist in my sobriety'). The singer's eyes are just...

This are my two cents....

Song about a person telling the person they love that it is obvious that they got to point of no return. Apparently this person cannot get a hold of his "loved one" he knows that there's a set he needs to take... and it's saying good bye... He will burn away and set up in flames... The final moment of a burst of love that will turn into ash and dissipate and be forgotten. This person goes as far as saying I sent you the money, maybe implying or create some type of bribe, if...

This song is about sexual abuse. About her own experience as a child from around 7 till around 12 years old. This song really makes me angry and sad at the same time. Dolores you are forever missed!

This song is about sexual abuse. Actually about her own experience. It´s about "him" and what he did to her, she was seeing him in her dreams...and she is forever holding "him" Responsible!

Woke up this morning

Woke up this morning

From a long night in the storm

Looked up this morning

Saw the roses full of thorns

Mountains are falling

They don't have nowhere to go

The ocean's a diamond

That only shines when you're alone

Can we start it all over again?

This morning

I lost...

One of my first entries into Jimmy Buffett music as a kid (I was probably in 6th or 7th grade when I first listened to a Jimmy Buffett CD). I think I relate to Jimmy Buffett for many reasons but a big one is being raised in a strict catholic household being forced into Alter Servitude by my Irish Catholic mother. Anyways; I sure know that what I grew up to become after hearing this at a prescient young age is what my parents warned me not to be. a good lesson in psychology in a fun Buffett song methinks.

accidentally added this to questions whatever... I always thought that this song was about a deep longing for someone sexually while knowing that this isn't the first and also isn't the last time they will feel this intense about someone.
