City Limit Sign
Beyond the City Limits: A Tapestry of Time and Nature
Lyrics
Maybe it's the feeling
Reflecting on a certain emotion or sensation
Of a Sunday afternoon
Evoking the atmosphere of a Sunday afternoon
Beneath the April sky that's kept me here so long
Staying in a place due to the captivating April sky
Or the Autumn breezes
Noting the Autumn breezes as winter approaches
With the winter comin' soon
Observing the persistence of red shades despite the season
But still the last few shades of red are hangin' on
Expressing familiarity with a particular scenery
That's all I've ever known
Stating a limited range of experience
Down in the same hole
Referencing a sense of repetition or stagnation
Watch how the years roll
Noting the passage of time in a familiar place
To the by and by
Looking forward to an unspecified future
Green fields and starred skies
Describing idyllic scenes of nature
Long days and hard times
Acknowledging both enjoyable and challenging moments
You give it all just to get by
Highlighting the effort required for survival
Some things don't change
Emphasizing the constancy of certain aspects of life
Outside the city limit sign
Mentioning a boundary marking the outskirts of a city
It's the evening air
Noting the distinctive quality of evening air
In the early days of June
Referring to the beginning of summer in June
When the daytime summer fades to campfire light
Describing the transition from daytime to campfire light
When I close my eyes, I can see them now
Recalling vivid mental images when closing the eyes
The mountains still and blue
Depicting serene and still blue mountains
The sweet smell of the honeysuckle bloom
Evoking the scent of honeysuckle bloom
I feel it in my bones
Expressing a deep connection or intuition
Down in the same hole
Repetition of the theme of being stuck or unchanged
Watch how the years roll
Continuation of observing the passage of time
To the by and by
Referencing an unspecified future
Green fields and starred skies
Reiterating the beauty of nature and time's passage
Long days and hard times
Acknowledging the mix of pleasant and challenging experiences
You give it all just to get by
Highlighting the sacrifices made for survival
Some things don't change
Reiteration of the constancy in certain aspects of life
Outside the city limit sign
Repeating the mention of a boundary, possibly for emphasis
