| Sea Wolf – Black Leaf Falls Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
To me this song was about a mysterious one night stand at a town called Black Leaf Falls. The two strangers meet at a dance hall. He spots her standing out in the hall and there is a sudden but very powerful connection. The very last chorus when he says "You turned your eyes to me. I felt it all" really has a profound meaning. These two strangers have never meet but the second they make eye contact just have a mysterious understanding about each other. They hook up (possibly in the bathroom) and then she disappears and he never sees her again except for in his dreams: "I'll fall asleep tonight See where they take me Fly with the maple seeds See if she wakes me". The song is a strikingly beautiful mix of intimacy, mystery, sex, loneliness, longing, and nostalgia about a dreamlike meeting between two strangers and the love they find. |
