Night Rolls In
Embracing Memories: Night's Reverie in Al Stewart's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Night rolls in
Night falls
Gone is the wind
The wind has ceased
Fireflies dancing in your eyes
There's a sparkle in your eyes, like fireflies dancing
Now you're holy again
Now, you're pure or sacred again
Oh night rolls in
Reiteration: Night falls
Oh night rolls in
-It's like a dream of a long time ago
Describing a dream from the distant past
A footprint lost in the snow
A trace left in the snow, symbolizing something lost
That covers the ground where we summered our lives
The snow covering the ground where life's summers were spent
Watching them grow
Observing the growth, likely of memories or experiences
From seeds that you sow
Growth originating from the efforts or choices made
But now the world in all its works and ways
The world, with all its complexities, affects our November days (later years)
Grays our Novembering days
The world grays or dims our late autumn days
The fire still glows
The enduring flame, reminiscent of a once vibrant rose
That once was a rose
Remembrance of a past beauty or love
A long time ago
Reiteration: Distant past
Night rolls in
Reiteration: Night falls
Gone is the wind
Reiteration: The wind has ceased
Fireflies dancing in your eyes
Reiteration: Sparkle in the eyes, like fireflies dancing
And now you're holy again
Reiteration: Now, you're pure or sacred again
Oh night rolls in
Reiteration: Night falls
Oh night rolls in
-Night rolls in
-Gone is the wind
Reiteration: The wind has ceased
Fireflies dancing in your eyes
Reiteration: Sparkle in the eyes, like fireflies dancing
And now you're holy again
Reiteration: Now, you're pure or sacred again
Oh night rolls in
Reiteration: Night falls
Oh night rolls in
-Oh night rolls in
