A passionate and sensitive man wishes to be in an intimate relationship. After engaging in conversation he often thinks of better ways he could express himself and his desires. Yet, the intensity of what he does express often overwhelms and scares off potential lovers.
Stinging from the words I should have said
One more tender moment just floats away
Waiting for someone to answer my questions of love
Instead of running away from my thirsty heart
He has talked to many women who claim to want a relationship with a caring and sensitive man such as himself. Despite their words he often notices that these same women follow some self-sabotaging romantic ideal and choose men who are emotionally distant leaving them quickly dissatisfied with their new lovers,
Sweet Femme Fatales seeking fantasy
Say they want a man with sensitivity
Swept off their feet by some brutish dead beat
When the romance has peaked they’re all alone in the night
In his heart he calls out to such women to stop chasing romantic fantasies and open themselves to the type of deep sharing and passion that are staples of the type of relationship he desires and fosters. His devotion to intimacy is sure to provide them with the type of union they want.
Take me right now, I’ll give you some strength
That comes from drinking from the two cups that is our fate
I’ve learned much from living alone and not feeling understood
I’ll give to you the empathy that I need to survive
He realizes that the intimate relationship he yearns for is not attractive to those looking for the quiet mystery man, and he tries to wait patiently to find a woman whose desire for intimacy is stronger than their desire for mystery and romance. He is unwilling to become a suave player, and is willing to continue to be alone until his call for passionate and deep mutual sharing is echoed back.
If you’re looking for romantic adventure, I’m not very good
But to drink lustily all of life’s sweet nectar, I’ll give all I can
If you’re not ready I’ll continue to feel and live all alone
For this thirst is all I know without thirst I know no sharing
Alone in the night I’ll give you plenty
Alone in the night
lyrics
All Alone 3/4/86
All alone, yes, alone in the night
Stinging from the words I should have said
One more tender moment just floats away
Waiting for someone to answer my questions of love
Instead of running away from my thirsty heart
All alone, yes, alone in the night
Sweet Femme Fatales seeking fantasy
Say they want a man with sensitivity
Swept off their feet by some brutish dead beat
When the romance has peaked they’re all alone in the night
Take me right now, I’ll give you some strength
That comes from drinking from the two cups that is our fate
I’ve learned much from living alone and not feeling understood
I’ll give to you the empathy that I need to survive
All alone, yes, alone in the night
Faces flash through my mind
Oh such loving smiles
If you’re looking for romantic adventure, I’m not very good
But to drink lustily all of life’s sweet nectar, I’ll give all I can
If you’re not ready I’ll continue to feel and live all alone
For this thirst is all I know without thirst I know no sharing
Alone in the night I’ll give you plenty
Alone in the night
All Alone
