Perfect song except for the sha-la-la-la part.  I cringe every time.


My interpretation of the "sha-la-la-la-la" part:

The character has lost hope of his lover returning to him.  He has even lost hope of her returning a letter.  His thoughts are of hope that she will return a letter, but then his thoughts get so desperate and dismayed, "sha-la-la-la-la" is all can think to mutter. 

These are just my thoughts.  You are welcome to disagree.  By the way, I love Tears in Vain.
