Gomez Presley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ain't got time to take a fast train
lonely days are gone, I'm a going home,
my baby just wrote me a letter
I don't care how much money I gotta spend
I got to get back to my baby again
lonely days are gone, I'm a going home,
Well she wrote me a letter,
said she couldn't live
without me no more
listen Mister can't you see
I got to get back
to my baby once more
anyway yeah!
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
ain't got time to take a fast train
lonely days are gone, I'm a going home,
my baby just wrote me a letter
Well she wrote me a letter,
said she couldn't live
without me no more
listen Mister can't you see
I got to get back
to my baby once more
anyway yeah!
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
ain't got time to take a fast train
lonely days are gone, I'm a going home,
my baby just wrote me a letter...
The lyrics of Gomez Presley's "The Letter" express a sense of urgency to return home to the singer's loved one who has just written him a letter. The singer is willing to spend any amount of money and endure any means of transportation to be reunited with his significant other. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the urgency and excitement the singer feels about finally seeing his partner again. The letter is a symbol of hope, love, and connection, providing the singer with the optimism he needs to overcome the challenges he may face on his journey.
The lyrics also show the depth of the singer's love for his partner. He is willing to go to great lengths to be with her, and the phrase "lonely days are gone" implies that his loneliness is immediately lifted when he reads the letter from his beloved. Additionally, the repetition of the phrase "anyway yeah!" at the end of each verse suggests a sense of defiant determination on the part of the singer. He will not let anything stand in the way of reuniting with his loved one.
