It's about seeing someone that he once had a close relationship with and it it brings back emotional memories but in the end he would not want to go back to that person
Unsealed
On a porch a letter sat
Then you said i wanna leave it again
Once i saw him
On a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand i wanna leave it again
On a weekend wanna wish it all way
And they called an i said an i want what
i said an i call out again
And the reason oughta leave her calm i know
I said i know what i wear that a box or the bag
Oh yeah can you see them?
Out on the porch
Ah, but they don't wave
I see them
Round the front way, yeah
And i know and i know
I don't wanna stay
make me cry
I see
I don't know there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
An i said
I said i i don't know where there's a box or the bag
Oh yeah can you see them?
Out on the porch
Ah, but they don't wave
I see them
Round the front way, yeah
And i know and i know
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay
Yellow Ledbetter is a song that one can listen to over and over again and if one does not have the lyrics in hand one would not understand one word Ed was singing....but it sounds so good...it's a great song....One of PJ's best I believe:)
