ravens land upon her hair
clouds adrift on her skin
a smile that tugs upon my soul
and whispers gently in my ear

eyes of honey held me down
lips like roses line her mouth
steely arrows in the air
wilted flowers at her toes

and if you ask me how i know what she looks like
i will tell you she left yesterday

eyes are east and lips are west
pulls my head against her breast
logic north and lust is south
pulls my fingers to her mouth

legs as firm as canyon walls
she's leaping high above the moon
when she drifts down on the air
the ground can't wait to kiss her toes

and if you ask me how i know what she looks like
i will tell you she left yesterday

ravens land upon her hair
clouds adrift on her skin
a smile that tugs upon my soul
and whispers gently in my ear

and if you ask me how i know what she looks like
i will tell you she left yesterday
she left yesterday
she left yesterday
she left yesterday

    I love this song- I can't belive there are no comments on this! I downloaded this song under a different name- Goth Queen. I think that title works better considering it's talking about some hot woman. But saying "she left yesterday" makes it sound like she was just some cheap whore in his studio appartment! That one line just takes away the magic. Like I'm picturing some beautiful Goth Queen all mysterious and intimidating in some barren field under black skies and ravens flying overhead- too bad I'm not an artist. I would be damn good if I had any friggin skill.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
