Lyric discussion by RonLee 

Cover art for Stewart's Coat lyrics by Rickie Lee Jones

I really like the song but the meaning behind the lyrics seems incomprehensible. The line "Hold me love, I can't sleep again" gives me the impression that she wants to feel the love of her partner. However, the line "Will I have to kiss your nose?" tells me perhaps she does not want to express that love back to her partner.

@RonLee I think the song is amazing musically. I agree that it\'s more puzzling lyrically.\r\nI think she wants the love of her partner all through the song. She believes in love in her head, but keeps mentioning the rain. Perhaps this refers to the adversity and hard relational difficulties she has experienced. She needs "many chances" and "time to learn to crawl," but she\'s willing to love.\r\n\r\nSo I think "will I have to kiss your nose" only means "will I have wake you so you will hold me?" rather an unwillingness to return love....
