Monday Morning
Adam Holmes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a fever in my body and it makes me sick
You know I love you, we can be so good
Laying on a Monday morning I'll be feeling just the way I should
I am still aware that you need your space
When you do tell me darling I don't mind to wait
You know I love you despite your solitude
Well your longing to be lonesome but you need to be near
Don't you worry bout tomorrow you've got nothing to fear
You know I love you and this is something good
Laying on a Monday morning I'll be feeling just the way I should
All the long and lazy days and the cigarettes
I can see it your eyes from the day we met
That I would love and this is something good
Laying on a Monday morning I'll be feeling just the way I should
Well my heart starts beating baby so damn quick
Like a fever in my body and it makes me sick
You know I love you, we can be so good
Laying on a Monday morning I'll be feeling just the way I should
All the long and lazy days and the cigarettes
I can see it your eyes from the day we met
That I would love you and this is something good
Laying on a Monday morning I'll be feeling just the way I should
Wild woman and wine, you'll be on my mind
Till the rivers run dry
Till the day I die
Wild woman and wine, you'll be on my mind
Till the rivers run dry
Till the day I die
Wild woman and wine, you'll be on my mind
Till the rivers run dry
Till the day I die
Wild woman and wine, you'll be on my mind
Till the rivers run dry
Till the day I die
The lyrics of Adam Holmes's song Monday Morning seem to be about a relationship where one person is more independent and enjoys solitude, while the other is more emotional and wants to be close. The main singer is in love with their partner and is willing to respect their need for space, but also hopes for closer moments together such as "laying on a Monday morning". The singer seems to be feeling sick with love, where their heart beats so quickly, it becomes feverish. They long for their partner but know that they need to be alone sometimes.
The chorus of the song, repeating the line "Wild woman and wine, you'll be on my mind, till the rivers run dry, till the day I die" create a dreamlike image of a person who is carried away by the memory alcohol and good times with their partner. It seems like despite the difficulties of the relationship, the singer is still experiencing great emotional highs because of their love. The song ends on this note, suggesting that the singer is committed to their partner and thus, "you'll be on my mind, till the day I die."

Never mind sounds like John Martyn's 'May You Never', try singing Michael Jacksons 'Black Or White' along with it. Ha ha. Having said that, I love Adam's voice, and really like his 'Shadows ' song.
