The Very Thought of You
Anne Ducros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
And I thought about you
Two or three cars parked under the stars
Winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town
And every stop that we made
Oh, I thought about you
And when I pulled down the shade
Then I really felt blue
I peeped through the crack
Looked at the track
Oh I'm going back to you
And what did I do, I thought about you
There were two or three cars parked under the stars
Winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream
And then I peeped through the crack
And I looked at the track
Oh I'm going back to you
And what did I do, I thought about you
In Anne Ducros's song "I Thought About You," the lyrics describe a train journey taken by the singer with a heart full of thoughts and memories of a past love. The stanza "I took a trip on a train, and I thought about you. I passed a shadowy lane, and I thought about you" reflects the singer's inability to let go of memories that haunt her, even when experiencing the present state of being on a train. The lyrics go on to describe the different stops made by the train and how each stop provided the singer with a reminder of her past love. She begins to feel remorse when she pulls down the shade and is left with only her thoughts, saying, "Then I really felt blue."
The stanza that says, "There were two or three cars parked under the stars, Winding stream, Moon shining down on some little town, And with each beam, the same old dream" reveals that the singer is indulging in daydreaming about the past, imagining a scenario of her love waiting for her under the stars. The chorus "And what did I do, I thought about you" shows her surrender to these haunting memories of her past love.
Overall, "I Thought About You" is a melancholic song that reminds us of how memories can affect our present even though they belong to the past. It presents a beautiful and romanticized image of an unrequited love, juxtaposed with the loneliness of the singer traveling alone on a train.

I took a trip on a train
I went on a train ride
And I thought about you
You were on my mind
I passed a shadowy lane
I went past a dark street
And I thought about you
You were still on my mind
Two or three cars parked under the stars
I saw a couple of cars parked under the night sky
Winding stream
A stream with a winding path
Moon shining down on some little town
The moon illuminated a small town
And with each beam, the same old dream
With each moonbeam, I kept dreaming the same thing
And every stop that we made
At each stop we made on the train
Oh, I thought about you
I couldn't stop thinking about you
And when I pulled down the shade
When I closed the window shade
Then I really felt blue
I became sad
I peeped through the crack
I looked through a small opening
Looked at the track
Observed the train tracks
Oh, I'm going back to you
I am returning to you
And what did I do, I thought about you
And throughout it all, you remained in my thoughts
