Description
This is a song about the girl we say we'll never fall for, no matter how much we resist, but eventually fall for because of beauty and grace. It's a self-contradicting conversation inside a man's head, for he swears he'll never fall for her, but he finds himself enraptured by her presence and radiance.
Lyrics
Doldrums singin’ their songs of praise, Waiting for their glory days, Waiting by the hills for the rising sun. Missed my chance, never fell before, So deep in this endless shore, Of metaphors, girl I swore, I’d never fall for you. But Isabella, dressed in yellow, A man you’ve made of me, This world is cold, but baby see, That warmth ya feel, shows we’re meant to be. The summer days are ending soon, And you’ll be far away, But darlin’ girl don’t fret too long, Cause this lovin’s here to stay. Lancet arc, and the crescent moon, Things I felt, crash like a monsoon, Underneath your, porch that cloudy eve. You said where did, we lose the time, Your words, they echo through my mind, My transfixed face, parallel with your eyes. Sold my heart, never told me to lease her, Solemn soul, like mother Theresa, Sing a song for her, ‘til she drowns in tears. But Isabella, dressed in yellow, A man you’ve made of me, This world is cold, but baby see, That warmth ya feel, shows we’re meant to be. The summer days are ending soon, And you’ll be far away, But darlin’ girl don’t fret too long, Cause this lovin’s here to stay.
