Lyrics
Woke up on Monday and wrote you a love song, wrote you a love song
Expressing the act of composing a love song on Monday morning.
Well the pen stopped and the paper flew out the window
Encountering a creative block as the pen stops and the paper is lost.
And the notes rang down the road
Imagery of musical notes traveling down a road, suggesting the uncertain destination of the song.
I don’t know where they’ll go get caught in the trees I suppose
Uncertainty about the fate of the notes, possibly getting entangled in nature.
Ripped apart by the birds and the winter winds whisper good bye to your love
Metaphorical depiction of the destruction of the love song by birds and winter winds.
Went out walking into the storm, into the storm
Embarking on a journey, facing challenges represented by the storm.
Followed what I thought was your voice but it was just the riverside
Mistakenly following what was believed to be the loved one's voice, but it was just the riverside.
I don’t know where they’ll go but I cast the letters you wrote
Casting away letters into the unknown, unsure of their destination.
Taken out by the current or sink to the bottom to say a little goodbye to your love
The letters may be carried away by the current or sink, symbolizing a farewell to love.
Skies dark and the wind blew the trees down
Describing a bleak scene with dark skies and trees being blown down by the wind.
I watched as the world slipped away
Observing the gradual detachment from the world as it slips away.
Carved into the bark a final love song
Symbolically engraving a final love song into the tree bark.
Then I carried the words to the fire
Burning the written words as a ritualistic act, letting go of the love expressed.
Staring into the glow where the branches are burning low
Gazing into the fire where branches burn low, contemplating the fading warmth of love.
Sparks shooting out like stars and in the morning say a little goodbye to your love
Visualizing sparks from the fire as stars, hinting at the fleeting nature of love.
I’ll carry this song with me everyday ‘til I lie down by your side
Commitment to carry the memory of the love song every day until reunited in death.
