MY LADY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With hands that move like little trees
Alive and bending in my raging storm
To a heartbeat, my lady lives for me
To a heartbeat, my lady lives for me
Out of the country to my city life
All wrapped in dreams she wears like pearls
And my lady is the softness in my world
And my lady is the softness in my world
Comin' back from the mountain
My lady waits for me
My lady waits for me
In paint and ribbons and her colored shells
All she imagines for my days
And weaves a life that is feeling good for me
And my lady hears every note I play
And my lady hears every note I play
My rooms are filled with all she's made by hand
My songs are filled with all her rhymes
My heart is filled with the work that we've been doin'
And the children we'll be havin' all in good time
And the children we'll be havin' all in good time
Comin' back from the mountain
My lady waits for me
My lady waits for me
The song "Mountain" by My Lady is a beautiful tribute to the love and closeness between two people, particularly in the life of a musician who spends a lot of time away from his partner traveling for work. The opening lines describe the singer seeing his lady in his mind, sailing on her "silver wings" like a beautiful bird. Her hands move "like little trees" in the wind, which could represent her grace and flexibility in life's storms. Despite the difficulties they both face, she continues to live for him, to his heartbeat - indicating her love and loyalty.
The singer contrasts his life in the city with his lady's life in the country, and highlights how she brings a sense of tranquility and softness into his life. She is like a dream wrapped in pearls, dancing to his music and providing the emotional support he needs when he returns home from his travels. The singer appreciates the time and effort his lady puts into making their lives beautiful and harmonious, using paint, ribbons, and shells to create a feeling of warmth and love in their shared space.
Finally, the song ends with a hopeful note, as the singer looks forward to building a family with his lady. Despite the challenges they face in maintaining their relationship while he is away, he trusts that they will be together always, and that their love will continue to grow stronger over time. He knows that when he comes back from the mountain, his lady will be waiting for him - a constant source of love and support in his life.
