Cover art for Love In Vain lyrics by Rolling Stones, The

Her is the spirit that takes you. And leaves from the station which is a place one reaches at the top of ones

mind at the edge of insanity where one make the choice to let go of control to be taken on the trip

Somewhere. The suitcase is the baggage that one carries that needs to be left behind.

He followed her, so he picked up on the signs and got the message which led to the station.

Since he has been trying so hard to find her, his love has been in vain.

The train that came to the station was in fact her and he looked her in the eye.

As a man with no love he felt so sad and lonesome.

So when the train left the station is when she turned on her creativity. The station is stop and she is go,

but he did not go because the blue light is that she was left blue because he was the red light who didn’t let

go and is still standing at the station with the suitcase in his hand, and that is why his love was still in vain. Arthurg8 on Youtube
