Lyrics
She's fallen from grace
She has lost favor or approval, fallen from a position of grace or esteem.
Somewhere in space
She is in an undefined location in outer space, suggesting a sense of isolation or emptiness.
The twilight has come and there is no tomorrow
The period of uncertainty or decline has arrived, and there is no promising future.
And night after day
The cycle of night followed by day, indicating a continuous struggle or hardship.
She's driftin' away
She is gradually losing connection or relevance, slipping away.
And time is run out for our lady of sorrow
Time has run out for her, possibly alluding to missed opportunities or irreversible circumstances.
Lady don't you cry
An encouragement for her not to cry, expressing a belief that she will overcome her challenges.
This time you'll stay high
Assurance that this time she will endure and remain in a positive state.
Lately when I've seen her
Recent encounters with her where she displayed optimism, smiling as if troubles were behind.
She would smile as if to say
Her smile communicated that the worst has passed, and better days are ahead.
That the worst was over
Reflecting on the possibility that challenges are not fully resolved, causing uncertainty.
And there'd soon be brighter days
The hope for brighter days contrasts with the lingering doubt or questioning.
But I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'
Expressing ongoing wonder or contemplation about her situation.
She goes to the door
She approaches the door, possibly seeking a way out or resolution.
And ask just once more
Asking for help or intervention one more time, giving everything she has.
She gives everything she could beg, steal or borrow
She has exhausted all resources, whether through legitimate means or otherwise.
And each time is her last
Each attempt seems like her final effort, but time is not on her side.
But time moves too fast
Time is moving too quickly, and her chances or opportunities are disappearing.
And time has run out for our lady of sorrow
Time has run out for her, emphasizing the finality of her situation.
Lady don't you frown
Encouraging her not to frown, expressing confidence that she won't experience a downfall.
This time you won't come down
Reassurance that this time she will remain in a positive state, avoiding a descent.
Just today I watched them as
Observing a recent event where she is being taken away, possibly metaphorical or literal.
They carried her away
Hope that she has found a better situation or state after being removed from the current circumstances.
And I can only hope that she
The speaker can only hope for her improvement, acknowledging the uncertainty.
Has found a brighter day
Expressing ongoing wonder or contemplation about her well-being.
But I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'
Questioning the existence of someone who cared for her in times of need.
Had there been someone near to care what then?
If someone had cared, what would have been the outcome or impact on her situation?
