Sascha
Jolie Holland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight, my heart is full of a sad song
My lonesome lover has taken off
I'm wondering around on a cloud
Empty heart, I've been down and out

It's been a week I think since he wrote and it's sad
And it's been years that I've heard these stories about this
Fella he's so brave and so alive
Turning this world around from the out to the inside

Well our courtship was brief and magnetic
I was singing at the corner bar
And we both felt so romantic
We took a walk with the moon
Down to the train yard

Well it was too much for me
My gypsy heart was inflammed
Put me at the head of your list
And don't forget to call my name
Well I fell in love with a boy
Who has a real life romance with a train

Oh my beautiful lover and friend
This is exactly what I wanted
And now I'm feeling so haunted
And I can't get you outta my mind

I can't forget him, as he's rolling away, and it's




All I can do is just to stay here, is
Just to stay

Overall Meaning

The song "Sascha" by Jolie Holland is a heart wrenching one that chronicles the emotions of a woman who has been left behind by her lover. The first few lines "Tonight, my heart is full of a sad song, my lonesome lover has taken off" set the tone for the entire song. The woman is feeling lost and abandoned, and her heart is filled with sorrow. She is wandering around in a haze, with an empty heart, after a week of not hearing from her lover. She goes on to talk about how she's heard stories of her lover being brave and full of life, turning the world around from the outside in, but now she's left alone and feeling like she's been lied to.


The second part of the song talks about the brief courtship between the woman and her lover. They met at a corner bar where she was singing, and they both felt the romantic spark. They took a walk down to the train yard under the moonlight. The woman's heart was on fire, inflamed by the passion of the moment. She fell in love with a boy who had a real life romance with a train, and she couldn't forget him, even as he was rolling away.


This song is a raw and honest portrayal of the feelings that come with a broken heart. It speaks to the longing and the pain that can come with loving someone deeply, only to have that love rejected or left behind.

Tonight, my heart is full of a sad song
My lonesome lover has taken off
I'm wandering around on a cloud
Empty-hearted and down and out

It's been a week, I think, since he rolled into town
And it's been years that I've heard these stories about
This fellah he's so brave and so alive
Turning this world around from the out to the inside

Well, our courtship was brief and magnetic
I was singing at the corner bar
And we both felt so romantic
We took a walk with the moon
Down to the train yard

Well, it was too much for me
My gypsy heart was inflamed
Put me at the head of your list
And don't forget to call my name
Well, I fell in love with a boy
Who has a real live romance with a train

Oh, my beautiful lover and friend
This is exactly what I wanted
And now I'm feeling so haunted
And I can't get you out of my mind

I can't forget him as he's rolling away
And it's all I can do is just to stay here
Is just to stay
