would you lay with me in a field of stone
if my needs were strong, would you lay with me

should my lips grow dry,
would you wet them, dear
in the midnight hour,
if my lips were dry

would you go away to another land
walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
wipe the blood away from my dying hand
if I give myself to you

would you lay with me
in the stream of life
when the moon is full,
would you bathe with me

will you still love me,
when I'm down and out
in my time of trial,
would you stand by me

would you go away to another land
walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
wipe the blood away from my dying hand
if I give myself to you

would you lay with me
in a field of stone
if my needs were strong,
would you lay with me

    My Interpretation

    This is a song about the relationship between man/woman (you and I) and Jesus Do you believe? It covers his Love ( the only true form of Love) Babtism, his death, wetting his lips on the cross, living their homes, would you die for him... all that he has given for you would you do the same in return.......This song is only for those who believe in Jesus, Aso he did not form the Christian religion.. that is not what he was brought here for. Thus in you consideration of this keep him separated from any form of religious affiliation..

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
