Desdemona Lyrics
Rain falls on a sleepy southern town,
the midnight moon was burnin' brightly.
Memories rushin' on a river, oh Lord!
As you lay sleeping without me.
Highway songs keep me rollin' on,
still I long for you.
Desdemona, I will be your only one again.
I make my living pouring out my pain,
trying to make it through another day.
Your arms reach for me,
on the wind I can feel it,
even though they're a thousand miles away.
Your eyes remind me of everything that's beutiful and blue.
I won't feel myself without you.
Desdemona, I will be your only one, oh yeah.
So hold a candle 'till the darkness fades, nightime sleeps until dawn.
My heart is pounding like the ocean, my soul is empty as the sky, but I know someday I'll be coming home.
Time goes by in the twinkling of an eye, and still I burn for you.
Desdemona, I will be your only one again.
I just wanna be your only one, yes I just wanna be your only one,
your only one.
the midnight moon was burnin' brightly.
Memories rushin' on a river, oh Lord!
As you lay sleeping without me.
Highway songs keep me rollin' on,
still I long for you.
Desdemona, I will be your only one again.
trying to make it through another day.
Your arms reach for me,
on the wind I can feel it,
even though they're a thousand miles away.
Your eyes remind me of everything that's beutiful and blue.
I won't feel myself without you.
Desdemona, I will be your only one, oh yeah.
My heart is pounding like the ocean, my soul is empty as the sky, but I know someday I'll be coming home.
Time goes by in the twinkling of an eye, and still I burn for you.
Desdemona, I will be your only one again.
your only one.

I can't believe no one's commented on this! I love this song way too much, but first off, a correction - I'm pretty sure that "nightime sleeps until dawn" should be "nighttime sleeps, but not for long."
I'm kind of tired so I find it kind of hard to interpret it as what he meant when it was written, but to me, it has a special meaning. It seems like no one I meet in real life compares to the people I meet through weird ways online, and I usually end up falling for them, hard. This song seems to be talking about a large physical distance between two people, which seems to be an awful motif in my life as of late. This song doesn't depress me, but it certainly puts me in a soulful mood.
