One Last Time
Farewell Echoes: Craig Lloyd's Emotional Journey Through Time
Lyrics
27 Weeks since he saw rain
27 weeks have passed since he last saw rain.
He’d get up every morning, the sky just looked the same
Every morning, the sky appeared unchanged to him.
When the dust storm hit
A dust storm occurred.
He never got over it
The impact of the dust storm was something he couldn't move past.
That old John Deere was his pride and joy
His old John Deere tractor was something he took great pride in.
It’s ploughed this land since his father was a boy
The tractor has been used on this land for generations.
He pulls back the cover
He uncovers the tractor.
Tries to turn her over
He tries to start the tractor.
One Last Time
He attempts to start it one final time.
He’s Leaving Through the Front Door
He is leaving the place through the front door.
One Last Time
This departure is significant, leaving him speechless.
He’s lost for words
He is unable to express his feelings adequately.
He looks back through the window
He gazes back at the past.
At the days that seemed to move so slow
Reflecting on days that appeared slow-moving.
He knows it’s time to go
He realizes it's time for him to depart.
One last time
This departure signifies a final occasion.
It was quite a thing to bring a woman here
Bringing a woman to this place was quite an event.
She gave him children, gave him all of her best years
She dedicated her prime years to him, giving him children.
But now she’s gone
Now, she's no longer with him.
And the kids moved on
The children have grown up and moved away.
One Last Time
He's leaving through the front door one last time.
He’s Leaving Through the Front Door
Similar to earlier lines, this is a significant departure.
One Last Time
He's at a loss for words yet again.
He’s lost for words
He reflects on the past again.
He looks back through the window
He looks back at days that seemed to pass slowly.
At the days that seemed to move so slow
Understanding that it's time to move on.
He knows it’s time to go
He's preparing for a final departure.
One last time
Similar to earlier instances, this signifies the last time.
Some days he can look into the future
Some days, he can see a future ahead.
Other days the future’s been and gone
Other days, the future feels like it's already passed.
One Last Time
Another significant departure through the front door.
He’s Leaving Through the Front Door
Again, he struggles to articulate his feelings.
One Last Time
A repetitive pattern of departure, emphasizing its importance.
He’s lost for words
Speechless once more.
He looks back through the window
Reflecting on slow-moving days from the past.
At the days that seemed to move so slow
Recognizing the necessity of departing.
He knows it’s time to go
Another instance of acknowledging the final departure.
One last time
Signifying this as the ultimate departure.
