Second Honeymoon

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] I walked up to the desk and asked the man about a room I asked about the bridal suite I told him I’m the groom Then I took the elevator to the floor I was assigned I fumbled with the key the way I did that other time Inside I thought of all the things that started in this room But I’m alone on our second honeymoon [Chorus] I hear the happy people laughing in the street below But the loneliness I feel tonight I hope you never know The life that was a happy song has ended much too soon And I’m alone on our second honeymoon [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I look around the room and see you standing everywhere The fragrance of your bridal flowers seems to fill the air The blushing bride that gave me such a free and eager kiss Two loving arms around me as you offered wedded bliss We’d said that we’d return to live it over in this room But I’m alone on our second honeymoon (Alone on our second honeymoon)

La chanson évoque un homme qui revient dans une chambre d'hôtel qui a une signification particulière pour lui et sa partenaire. Il ressasse des souvenirs d’un moment heureux qu’ils ont partagé, mais maintenant, il se retrouve seul, triste et nostalgique, tandis qu'il observe des couples heureux à l'extérieur. L’atmosphère de la chambre lui rappelle des instants passés, les promesses faites et l'amour qu'il a perdu. Le sentiment de solitude est écrasant, et il se rend compte que ce retour, pourtant anticipé comme une fête, est devenu une occasion de lamentation.
