Warm Spot
Cassandra Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On my way on my way
On my way on my way
On my way
Back there again
Back to the warm spot in the middle of your soul
I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there
If I have my own way
Oh, I been running sideways
Skipping 'round the holes
I have made my mind up I'm gonna have him
Anyway that I can
And so I'm on my way
On my way on my way
On my way on my way
Back there again
Back to the warm spot
In the middle of your soul

Copper colored conjure man
Wave your magic wand and rescue me
I've been searching far and wide
For someone to care for me
You're my angel in the morning light
You're my devil in the dark of night
I've been searching far and wide
But you've been out of sight, out of sight

On my way on my way
On my way on my way
On my way
Back there again
Back to the warm spot in the middle of your soul
Back there again
Back to the warm spot in the middle of your soul


(devil in the dark come back)
(devil in the dark come back)
You are the one true

Chocolate-colored conjure man
Wave your magic wand and rescue me
I've been searching far and wide
For someone to care for me
You're my angel in the morning light
You're my devil in the dark of night
I've been searching far and wide
But you've been out of sight, out of sight

I want to give you all I can give you
Leave no trace behind
I want to give you all I can give you
Leave no trace behind
I want to give you all I can give you
Leave no trace behind




I want to give you all I can give you
Leave no trace behind

Overall Meaning

The warm spot in the middle of the soul represents the love that they share, and the singer seems almost desperate to return to it.


The lyrics also speak to the idea of magic and the power of belief. The singer implores a "copper-colored conjure man" to use his magic wand to rescue her, indicating her belief in the power of mysticism and the supernatural world. The contrast between the angelic qualities of the person she loves in the morning light, and their devilish qualities in the dark of the night, adds depth to the portrayal of the complicated nature of love.


Overall, "Warm Spot" is a hauntingly beautiful song that explores the power of love and the journey one can embark on in order to find it.
