Lyrics
How long can we live this way?
Questioning the sustainability of the current way of life.
How long 'till the rain starts coming down?
Anticipation of change, expressed through the metaphor of rain.
Everyone here's been wondering
Community curiosity about when the challenging situation will end.
When will it be over?
Seeking clarity on when the difficulties will be resolved.
I hear the night train every evening
Awareness of a recurring sound, possibly symbolizing routine or anticipation.
Maybe change is coming soon
Hopeful expectation of impending change.
With the harvest moon
Association of change with the symbolic "harvest moon."
Take me down to the river
Desire to be taken to a place of significance, possibly seeking guidance.
Take me to the preacher-man
Request to be taken to a religious figure, suggesting a search for guidance or redemption.
I can't wait any longer
Impatience, expressing the inability to endure the current situation any longer.
I messed up all I can
Recognition of personal mistakes and their consequences.
I hear the night train singing in the distance
Sensory perception of a distant sound, possibly signifying hope or impending change.
Maybe the angels are coming soon
Speculation about divine intervention or positive forces accompanying the mentioned sound.
With the harvest moon
Association of positive change with the symbolic "harvest moon."
If the river's rising
Advising to be vigilant if challenges are increasing, using the river as a metaphor.
Look to the dark horizon
Suggesting that hope can be found even in difficult times, symbolized by the dark horizon.
For the harvest moon, yeah
Reiterating the positive association with the symbolic "harvest moon."
Wait a minute, just a little bit longer
Implying patience is needed before a resolution, urging to wait a bit longer.
It's all up to me and you
Empowering the listener, emphasizing that the resolution depends on individual efforts.
Wait a minute, just a little bit longer
Repetition of the theme of patience and shared responsibility for change.
It's all up to me and you
Reiteration of the message that the resolution is a joint effort.
Wait a minute, just a little bit longer
Further emphasis on patience and the shared responsibility for improvement.
It's all up to me and you ...
Reaffirmation that the resolution lies in the collective actions of "me and you."
