Lyrics
I met Al
I met a person named Al
A couple months ago
It has been a couple of months since our meeting
Now all I know
All I know now is that we will remain close
Is that we'll stick together
We will support each other and stay together
Al's cool
Al is a person with a positive and admirable demeanor
Cooler than most I know
He is cooler than most people I know
He's got battle scars
Al has faced challenges and difficulties (symbolized by battle scars)
He's become my best friend
He has become my closest and dearest friend
But lately
Recently, Al has undergone a change in personality
Al's not the same no more
Al is not the same person as before
I can feel him go
I can sense a shift in him
And I'm worried he might
I am concerned that he might
Die here, sweet love of mine
Expressing fear that Al might pass away
In the pouring rain
In a sorrowful setting, possibly emphasizing emotional pain
In the wreckage of
Amid the ruins or difficulties of
Al's life
Al's life has been eventful and noteworthy
Has been quite a life indeed
Reflecting on the challenges and experiences in Al's life
He was once in love
Al was once in love with a nurse named Anna Lee
With a nurse named Anna Lee
I remember
Memories of an emotional time
How we both did cry
We both cried together
When they said he's to far
When they conveyed that he's too far gone
Gone on their way through the states
They departed through the states
But they crashed one night and Al was left to
But they had a crash, and Al was left to
Die here
Reiterating the fear of Al passing away
Sweet love of mine
Expressing the concern in the morning
In the morning time
As the rain pours, symbolizing a challenging time
As the parkway pavement shines
In the aftermath of a difficult situation
Mechanic says you don't have long
A mechanic suggests that time is running out
A cure is not enough
A cure is insufficient when financial resources are lacking
When you've got no money
Sorry
In the morning time, the engine is still functional
Sweet love of mine
Promising to stay and support Al until the end
I won't let you die
Commitment to preventing Al's demise
I will stay 'til the engine dies
Determination to remain until the engine (life) ceases
