Marty Stuart & Steve Earle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping, hoping you'll come back
I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Crying, crying, waiting, waiting
Hoping, hoping you'll come back
You're the one I love
I think about you all the time
Crying, crying, doo d-doo doo
Tears keep a-falling all night long
Waiting, waiting, doo d-doo doo
It seems so useless I know it's wrong
To keep on crying, crying, waiting, waiting
Hoping, hoping you'll come back baby
Someday soon things will change
And you'll be mine
Crying, crying, doo d-doo doo
Tears keep a-falling all night long
Waiting, waiting, doo d-doo doo
It seems so useless I know it's wrong
To keep on crying, crying, waiting, waiting
Hoping, hoping you'll come back
Maybe someday soon things will change
And you'll be mine
Crying, crying
Waiting, waiting
Hoping, hoping
The song "Crying Waiting Hoping" by Steve Earle is a classic example of a sad love song. The lyrics express the pain of waiting for someone who has left, hoping that they will return. The repetition of the words "crying" and "waiting" emphasize the depth of the singer's sorrow, and the doo-doo-doo refrain adds a melancholic touch.
The opening lines are self-explanatory, with the singer crying and waiting for the return of a lost love. The next verse reveals that the missing person is the one the singer loves, and their absence is a constant presence in the singer's thoughts. The tears are still falling, and the waiting is so useless that the singer knows it's wrong to continue crying and waiting.
In the final verse, the singer holds on to hope that things will change, and the missing person will return. The repetition of the words "crying," "waiting," and "hoping" increases the emotional impact of the song's message. There is a deep longing for the person to come back soon, and the singer is grasping at any hope they can find.
