@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Running through our hands
In the waving grass
One harvest time can't stop them now
Cities made of sand
That were built to last
No one man sky to tell them how
Seasons kiss, collide and miss
Stars still turn and sometimes burn
And the stones alone laugh
Passing through our arms
Go each others loves
One woman sea can't break their fall
Blossoms in your gaze,
Storm clouds race above
One season more they've grown so tall
Seasons kiss, collide and miss
Stars still turn and sometimes burn
But the stones alone laugh
In the waving grass
One harvest time can't stop them now
Cities made of sand
That were built to last
No one man sky to tell them how
Seasons kiss, collide and miss
Stars still turn and sometimes burn
And the stones alone laugh
Passing through our arms
Go each others loves
One woman sea can't break their fall
Blossoms in your gaze,
Storm clouds race above
One season more they've grown so tall
Seasons kiss, collide and miss
Stars still turn and sometimes burn
But the stones alone laugh

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Most people don't know who Jack Bruce is, and those who do usually only know him as the bassist for Cream. But Jack Bruce has had an AMAZING solo career right through the 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. In fact, he's STILL rockin! Check out jackbruce.com
This track is from his album Out of the Storm (1974). I believe the lyrics were written by his wife, Janet Godfrey. To me, this song is about how nothing seems to endure forever in the face of time. I think of sand falling through an hour glass and running through our hands... time passing... everything around us comes and then goes... people we once loved are now gone... some of them dead... new people come into our lives... jobs come and go... homes come and then go... everything is temporary, except for the stones who seem to laugh at our endless plight...
