I had a vision in the chapel,
Flame flickered on your forehead like an apple.
When the morning came,
I was enthralled by your movement.
But I was scared, I wrote a letter,
to articulate my thoughts a little better.
When the time came for speaking my mind
it was gone.

The garden's overgrown.
Is the fact of the matter,
and now it's just a field behind the house,
where the creepers kinda swallow the light.
Where you wait for a talking snake,
for a calendar date,
something you can rely on.
You can steady the scale with my heart in a pail if I'm wrong.

When I was young and not a cynic,
I felt a gravity beyond the city limits
out in the violent heart,
I couldn't start to explain it.
But all my lovers turn to friends,
and I'm in London singing 'If it Be Your Will' again.
When the time came for speaking my mind,
it was gone.

The garden's overgrown.
Is the fact of the matter,
and now it's just a field behind the house,
where the creepers kinda swallow the light.
Where you wait for a talking snake,
for a calendar date,
something you can rely on.
You can steady the scale with my heart in a pail if I'm wrong.

I miss my childhood house, where my heart slowed down.
I could take control of myself there.
Since our childhood homes are apartments, though,
I've been finding I don't feel it the same way, now.

The garden's overgrown.
Is the fact of the matter,
and now it's just a field behind the house,
where the creepers kinda swallow the light.
Where you wait for a talking snake,
for a calendar date,
something you can rely on.
You can steady the scale with my heart in a pail if I'm wrong,
You can steady the scale with my heart in a pail if I'm wrong,
You can steady the scale with my heart in a pail if I'm wrong.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
