Dream a River
Journey of Remembrance: Dreaming a River of Love's Echo
Lyrics
I just returned to say goodbye
I have just returned to bid farewell.
Thought that maybe there's something I'd find
I hoped to discover something meaningful.
Like the way a memory moves in the corner of a room
Similar to how memories subtly occupy a space, I sought something.
Or where the sun comes through
Referencing a place where sunlight enters, possibly metaphorical.
Where's the sun come through?
An inquiry about the location where sunlight penetrates.
I dream a river back to that love
I envision a river in my dreams leading back to that love.
I dream a river
Reiteration of the dream of a river, possibly symbolizing a journey.
I walked up the stairs to find the door ajar
I ascend the stairs and notice the slightly open door.
Beckoning me in beckoning me in
The door beckons, inviting me inside.
A trespasser now, in the place that I called home
I am now an intruder in the place once familiar as home.
But, where's the sun come through?
Questioning the presence of sunlight in this new, unfamiliar space.
I really need to know
Expressing a genuine need to understand.
I dream a river back to that love
Reiteration of the dream of a river leading back to that love.
I dream a river
Emphasizing the persistent nature of the dream or desire.
I hear her silver bracelets down the hall
Auditory imagery of hearing silver bracelets and a song's lingering cry.
That, and the lingering cry of a song
Sensory details indicating a presence of the past.
Everything exactly as we left it
Everything remains unchanged from the past.
But, where's the sun come through?
Questioning the presence of sunlight in the familiar unchanged space.
Where's the sun come through?
Reiteration of the inquiry about sunlight's entry point.
I dream a river back to that love
Reiteration of the dream of a river, reemphasizing the journey.
I dream a river
Continuation of the persistent dream of a river leading back to love.
