Statues Made of Clay

Kate Wolf

Transposer:

Well I saw a man today and he looked like you And I found myself staring like a fool 'Til he turned and I had to look away 'Cause he was just a statue made of clay Statues made of clay so pretty and so cheaply made But they don't weather well Like the strong granite stone They crumble and they leave you all alone Now I've been on the road a country singer with a band Playing all the honky-tonks and the one-night stands But I think about you when you're far away And this road seems like a statue made of clay Statues made of clay so pretty and so cheaply made But they don't weather well Like the strong granite stone They crumble and they leave you all alone Now you and I we've been through the hardest times There've been lonely nights and days without a dime But my love for you grows stronger day by day 'Cause you're not just a statue made of clay Statues made of clay so pretty and so cheaply made But they don't weather well Like the strong granite stone They crumble and they leave you all alone Outro:

La chanson évoque la nostalgie d'une relation passée, où l'interprète voit quelqu'un ressemblant à son ancien amour. Cela le plonge dans des réflexions sur la fragilité des relations, comparant certaines personnes à des statues en terre cuite qui, bien qu'attrayantes, ne résistent pas aux épreuves du temps. Le contraste est fait avec l'amour véritable, qui, lui, se renforce malgré les difficultés. Les souvenirs et les luttes quotidiennes deviennent des éléments qui rappellent à l'artiste que son amour est solide et durable, bien différent des choses éphémères. Ici, le contexte de la vie d'un musicien en tournée ajoute une dimension à la quête de connexion, soulignant le lien précieux avec une personne qui transcende la superficialité des rencontres passagères.
