What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
If a baby is born and no one complains
2
Then that's good luck, runnin' through young veins
3
And if life is a blessing
4
That brushes the tops of the trees
5
Well it's a short walk, in a sweet breeze
6
I will need you, feed you,
7
Seed you, plead with you
8
All for a taste of your sweet love, Thelma
9
If the heart is an open memory book
10
That was the chance I took
11
The more I searched
12
The more I shook for Thelma
13
Last night I slept on a rented pillow
14
A silver moon above my head
15
A thirsty dreamless sleep released me
16
And I reached for the phone by the side of the bed
17
Now the first time that I saw you I thought
18
She's beautiful, but she's too young to be caught
19
People aware of my history
20
Trying to steer you away from me
21
I left a message at your hotel
22
Don't let management poison the well
23
I will need you, feed you,
24
Seed you, plead with you
25
All for a taste of your sweet love, Thelma
26
The phone is ringing and I realize
27
We are time zones and oceans apart
28
The words I speak in the middle of my night
29
Fall on your yesterday's heart
30
If the sun don't shine
31
If the wind don't break
32
If the clock don't jump off the wall
33
Thelma, my darlin', I will cushion your fall
34
I will need you, feed you,
35
Seed you, plead with you
36
Without the taste of your sweet love, Thelma
37
I am only a man who skirted the edge of despair
38
For a long time, now
39
And I don't care
40
I watch you sleeping in the hospital bed
41
The baby curled up in a ball
42
Winter sunlight hits the family tree
43
And everything else becomes nothing at all
