Come Walk With Me?
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How you light up my life
Come and lay down beside me
Come and thrill me tonight
Do you wanna?
I'm not saying I love you
I won't say I'll be true
When I go down on you
I'm so weary and lonesome
And it's cold in the night
When the path to your doorway
Is a pathway of light
[Chorus]
Do you wanna come walk with me?
Do you wanna come walk with me?
If you do baby say it now
Though we'll both wonder anyhow
Do you wanna come walk with me?
Do you wanna come walk with me?
Do you wanna?
Little girl have I told you
You're my guiding north star
And my love travels with you
Wherever you are
From the mountains to the valley
Leave the light on for me
From Virginia to Alaska
From sea to shining sea
[Chorus]
The song "Come Walk With Me" by Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan has all the elements of a classic love song but with a tinge of mysteriousness. The lyrics are about a man who is drawn to a woman and wants her to come be with him while he takes the lead. The song opens with the man telling the woman how much she means to him and how she lights up his life. He asks her to join him and thrill him that night. He goes on to say that he won't make promises of love and loyalty, but when he is with her, there's a feeling of freedom that he can't explain. The imagery of a crimson bird flying gives a sense of soaring passion.
The second verse has the man admitting to feeling weary and lonesome, and how his path to the woman's doorway is illuminated. The chorus is a simple question - asking if the woman wants to come walk with him. The song's bridge changes the tone again, and in haunting harmonies, the duo sings about the woman being the singer's guiding north star and how his love travels with her through mountains, valleys, Alaska, and across the US from Virginia to Texas.
There lies a sense of sweetness and sensuality in 'Come Walk With Me', without being too suggestive. The song's simplicity elevates the emotions behind the words, and even with the little understanding of the context, it can still hit a nerve with the listeners.

Little girl have I told you
I am addressing you in an affectionate manner
How you light up my life
You make my life brighter
Come and lay down beside me
Let us be physically closer
Come and thrill me tonight
Let us enjoy each other's company tonight
Do you wanna?
Are you interested in what I am proposing?
I'm not saying I love you
I am not expressing my love for you
I won't say I'll be true
I am not making a commitment to be faithful
There's a crimson bird flying
I am using a metaphor to describe a pleasant experience
When I go down on you
When I perform oral sex on you
I'm so weary and lonesome
I am tired and feeling lonely
And it's cold in the night
The night feels chilly
When the path to your doorway
When I am on my way to your home
Is a pathway of light
The journey is made happier and more hopeful because of you
Do you wanna come walk with me?
Are you interested in accompanying me?
If you do baby say it now
Please let me know if you are interested as soon as possible
Though we'll both wonder anyhow
Even if we both hesitate, we will still be curious
Little girl have I told you
I am reminding you of my affection
You're my guiding north star
You provide direction and guidance
And my love travels with you
My feelings of love are with you wherever you go
Wherever you are
No matter where you are in the world
From the mountains to the valley
From high altitudes to lowlands
Leave the light on for me
Make sure I can see where I am going
From Virginia to Alaska
From the eastern US to the northern US
From sea to shining sea
Across the country from coast to coast
Do you wanna come walk with me?
Are you interested in joining me?
Do you wanna?
Are you interested in being with me?
