She Moves On Lyrics
It’s a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts
The plane lifts
She moves on
Whenever you believe that
You’ll be lost and love will find you
When the road bends
And the song ends
She moves on
Feel so blessed
My heart still splashes
Inside my chest, but she
She is like a top
She cannot stop
She moves on
Lights a candle in the middle of the night
Her voice cracks
She jumps back
But she moves on
You have underestimated my power
As you shortly will discover”
Shake a rattle at the skies
And I’m afraid that I’ll be taken
Abandoned, forsaken
In her cold coffee eyes
The moon is red
She fights a fever
She burns in bed
She needs to talk so
We take a walk
Down in the maroon light
As near to love as love will ever be”
So I agree
Then the moon breaks
She takes the corner that’s all she takes
She moves on
You have underestimated my power
As you shortly will discover”
I grow weak, I go slack
As if she’d captured the breath of my
Voice in a bottle
And I can’t catch it back
It’s a fine day
The way the sun hits off the run way
A cloud shifts
The plane lifts
She moves on
Absolutely awesome lyricism, and incredibly creative bass playing on this track!
I think this is about a very unhealthy, unequal love affair - a woman who simultaneously enjoys/appreciates the authenticity of the deep love the singer feels for her, but is incapable of committing to really loving or opening up to anyone. She knows how destructive she can be, and tries to warn him he will get hurt but he cannot deny his feelings for her.
My favourite lines are these:
"She says, 'Maybe these emotions are As near to love as love will ever be...' So I agree Then the moon breaks She takes the corner and that's all she takes She moves on"
...
"Then I fall to my knees I grow weak, I go slack As if she'd captured the breath of my Voice in a bottle And I can't catch it back"
Exactly the feeling I had a few years ago in a very disturbing love affair! Hit me right into my stomach when I first listened to that great piece of art. It still is in my head when I Think about that women.
I want to say thank you to the two individuals who posted comments/opinions here thus far. I'm surprised that more have not commented to be honest.
I just now listened to this for the first time. Those who have posted comments here already have absolutely hit the proverbial hammer squarely on the nail. It is about an AFFAIR. I would not have been able to have known this had it not been for the comments previously posted.
I am a 58 year old man. Back in 2004 I met a lady online who lived in a different state than where I lived at the time. I didn't know it at the time, but she was still (legally) married. She was waiting for her divorce to be processed by the court, but she was still married legally.
We carried on a long distance physical relationship for about a year before it ended. I was cut to the core when she ended it. I actually ended up marrying my 2nd wife not long after this long distance affair ended. The 2nd marriage also did not last. It ended after about 8 years. I have been through a lot of heartache to say the least. But getting back to this song ...........
We used to spend weekends together, Sue and I did (the legally married woman, back in the early 2000s). Then, one, or the other ....... or in some instances BOTH of us ....... would have to get back on the plane to fly back to our hometown(s). I lived in ABQ, NM, and she lived in Burbank, CA. I am actually back in ABQ now, but this is beside the point here. Sue and I used to meet up in PHX, AZ for weekends periodically. We would stay in a nice hotel there.
My point is, is that I can definitely relate with this song. On SO many different levels. I honestly wanted to marry her. But the main reason this could not happen was because I was never able to form a peaceable relationship with her older son, who was a troubled teenage child at the time. But this song really rings true for me though.
Thanks for reading my rant.
