Well, you woke me from a dream about you
Just to say that you were leaving
I'm sleepy but I thought that you said
That our love that will last forever is endin'
Well before you walk out of my life
Would you be especially quiet

And don't let my heart know that you're leavin'
Don't you say another word about it darlin'
Don't you let my heart hear your footsteps walkin' out
The door of my hopes and dreams
And don't you let my heart know that you're leavin'
Don't you say another word about it darlin'
Leave me now before my heart finds out

Well, I see you writing something down
And leavin' it on the dresser
And the tears in your eyes look a lot like mine
But I guess it's all for the better
Well before we say our last goodbye
Baby won't you hold me just one more time

    This song is about the musings of one half of a relationship that is over. One last hug, hiding in a hard depressed sleep state won't change anything. He is trying to convince himself that there is still a chance in spite of his on with the show mindset. Such a bittersweet song. The day my mother passed away last year, I heard several like and including this one that played on her favorite easy listening station. Wow. Music is so powerful.

Little Feat
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”
