Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah, after you made my day
Hurts to know you're going away
Seems like my life begin to ruin
Now that you're departing pretty soon
But what more can I say? Yeah
Sad to know that you're leaving
Even though it's kinda grieving
Sad to know that you're leaving
But I know that you'll return real soon
You can send me a postcard
Mail it home to Do St Yard [unverified]
You know what loneliness brings
But Jah will guide you out and coming in
What more can I say?
Sad to know that you're leaving
Even though it's kinda grieving
Sad to know that you're leaving
But Jah will guide you out and coming in, oh yeah
Oh yeah, after you made my day
Hurts to know you're going away
Seems like my life begin to ruin
Now that you're departing pretty soon
But what more can I say? Yeah
Sad to know that you're leaving
Even though it's kinda grieving
Sad to know that you're leaving
But I know that you'll return real soon
You can send me a postcard
Mail it home to Do St Yard [unverified]
You know what loneliness brings
But Jah will guide you out and coming in
What more can I say?
Sad to know that you're leaving
Even though it's kinda grieving




Sad to know that you're leaving
But Jah will guide you out and coming in, oh yeah

The opening verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, as Gregory sings, "after you made my day, hurts to know you're going away, seems like my life begins to ruin, now that you're departing pretty soon." The singer seems to feel that his entire life is falling apart just because of the other person's departure, which speaks to the depth of his emotions.


Despite his sadness, the singer knows that life goes on, and that he will have to find a way to cope with the loneliness that will inevitably follow. He urges the departing person to send him a postcard from their destination, and sings that "you know what loneliness brings, but Jah will guide you out and coming in." The mention of Jah, the Rastafarian term for God, suggests that the singer is drawing comfort from his faith, and believes that even though he is sad now, things will work out in the end.


Overall, "Lonely Days Version II" is a poignant expression of human emotion, as the singer grapples with the sadness of losing someone he cares about deeply, while remaining optimistic and hoping for their eventual return.
