Loving Wings
Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My Soul's a bag of stick and stone
And out along this dusty road
You have come my love to take me home
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
You lightly lifted me away
Out of a darkness, cold and gray
And I work beneath the midday sun
My cool blue water you have come
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
To hear me sing my love out loud (oh...)
So take your place here next to me
And I'll take my place there next to thee
And no matter how far we may roam
Its by your side I make my home
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
To hear me sing my love out loud (oh...)
The opening lines of Dave Matthews's "Loving Wings" are intriguing, as they paint a vivid picture of a man whose heart and soul have been shattered into fragments. However, Matthews introduces the possibility of redemption when he sings, "out along this dusty road, you have come my love to take me home". The next few lines continue to express hope and a sense of renewal, as he acknowledges the transformative power of love when he sings, "You’ve given me these loving wings, and angels have all gathered round to hear me sing my love out loud". This line suggests that he is not just speaking to his beloved, but that his love is flowing out to others, perhaps due to the healing experiences his beloved has helped create for him.
The second verse suggests that the beloved has the ability to free the singer from a dark and gloomy existence: "You lightly lifted me away, out of a darkness, cold and gray". Notice the final line of the first verse, "to hear me sing my love out loud" is repeated with the same significance, which shows his gratefulness and happiness as an outcome of being taken out of depression by the love of his life. The final verse summarizes Matthews's message perfectly, showing that home is with the person he loves and that no matter where they go or what happens, he will stand by her, and give her everything he has to offer in return for the love she has given him.
