Young Friend
Blossoming Freedom in Countryside Melodies
Lyrics
Young friend there are
Expressing a connection with a young friend
Unspoiled sides o' country
Referring to untouched aspects of the countryside
Those hills make ya moon and make ya swooney
Describing the captivating effect of hills, evoking a dreamy state
And they have wiped away the bloom from your strawberry brow
Indicating the impact of external influences on innocence and purity
With their wispy clutch and wispy gown
Depicting the hills' delicate touch and influence
I got along just fine 'til I knew ya
Reflecting on life before knowing the young friend
The saddest days were the ones that I'd lose ya
Recalling sad moments when fearing the loss of the friend
But now I am free, so long I'll see ya
Expressing freedom after separation, anticipating a reunion
Next year when I'm strong and I mean it
Committing to meeting again in the following year, emphasizing strength
Young friend there are
Repeating the acknowledgment of a young friend
Silos of things that make you want to grow
Highlighting the presence of influential elements promoting growth
In the west on farms that sound like string-lit bows
Describing farms in the west with a musical quality
And they will keep you close and they
Stating the farms' role in keeping one close and providing companionship
And they will keep you in good company
Comparing this to the effect of sad tunes on mood
Like the sad ol' tunes that make you moody
Empty line, possibly for emphasis or pause
But I got along just fine 'til I knew ya
Reflecting on the period before knowing the friend
The saddest days were the ones that I'd lose ya
Recalling the sadness associated with the fear of losing the friend
But now I am free, so long I'll see ya
Expressing freedom after separation, anticipating a reunion
Next year when I'm strong and I mean it
Committing to meeting again in the following year, emphasizing strength
I got along just fine 'til I knew ya
Reiterating the experience of life before knowing the friend
The saddest days were the ones that I'd lose ya
Recalling the sadness associated with the fear of losing the friend
Now I am free, so long I'll see ya
Expressing freedom after separation, anticipating a reunion
Next year when I'm strong and I mean it
Committing to meeting again in the following year, emphasizing strength
You gave me the frowns
Repetition of the impact of the friend's negative influence (frowns)
You gave me the frowns
-You gave me the frowns
-You gave me the frowns
-You gave me the frowns
-You gave me the frowns
