Come on, baby, I'm waiting for you
You ray of brilliant sunshine you
We'll roll it all up in the fireside booze
Come on, baby, I'm waiting for you

Come on, baby, it's not too late
No Menai Straits, no Golden Gates
I don't remember now a single word
It's half a life and half a world ago

But I remember when
And that I loved you so
Ooh

Roll me a scandalous
I'll boil us some eggs
Put a movie on we can talk all across
Put words in my mouth
Put ideas in my head
Come on, baby, let's put you to bed

There's the reddest sky ever to radio by
There's the reddest sky ever to radio by
The talk is of love
It'll always trump slumber
You haven't changed
You haven't changed your number

But I remember when
And that I loved you so
Ooh

Come on, baby, I'm waiting for you
You ray of brilliant sunshine you
We'll roll it all up in the fireside booze
Come on, baby, I'm waiting for you

Come on, baby, it's not too late
No Menai Straits, no Golden Gates
I don't remember now a single word
It's half a life and half a world ago

But I remember when
And that I loved you so
Ooh

    This is an amazing song. Great lyrics and melody. I feel that it's about someone living their life too fast and dangerously.

    This is about a drug-addict. "Don't tell me again that dust is gonna settle your nerves." Obviously the girl is saying that the drugs will numb her pain, and he's saying don't give me that bull. He wants her to slow down and quit harming herself before something bad happens to her. "You're a tragedy starting to happen."

    what kind of person would dedicate a depressing (but beautiful and artistic) song like that to you? I know i wouldn't give that to my girlfriend. If you take the lyrics seriously, it's not the kind of song you want to give to a boyfriend or girlfriend, no offense or anything...

    I don't think this is necessarily about drugs, but about a woman who tries to be accepted in others' eyes and fails. A man (the singer) finds her and tries to comfort her by saying that she's perfect the way she is ("Come as you are", "Just as you are perfect"). Perhaps by "dust" settling nerves, threats of death and suicide are implied.

    We used this once in a devised piece for theatre studies about a girl with bipolar disorder, it related to the drastic mood swings experienced by people with the disorder and I can see that this could also be related to drug users who have highs and then crash down, but I think it relates to everyone, hasn't everyone experienced a time when they've been so high on life and then everything seems to spiral out of control and then into nothing. I think I can even relate to it right now! And I think it's sweet that the song was dedicated to you, shows that he likes you as you are and maybe is concerned about you. He may not even have had the lyrics in mind, it's just a beautiful melody. LOVE IT!

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Cajun Girl
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”
