Lyrics
Nostalgia's great, and stories are good
Nostalgia is a positive sentiment, and stories hold value.
Nothing like an old time coming 'round again
The return of old times is special and unique.
Nostalgia's great, thinking 'bout fate
Reflecting on the positive aspects of nostalgia and contemplating fate.
Wondering how it all could have been
Questioning how things could have unfolded differently.
I've been outside, drifting outside
Expressing a sense of being outside, detached or distant.
So long; can't start again
Long-standing detachment, making it challenging to start anew.
I've been outside, living outside
Continued experience of living outside societal norms.
Don't see me walkin' back in
An assertion that the speaker won't return to conventional ways.
The sun is cruel to a stranger's face
Describing the harsh impact of the sun on a stranger's face.
Takes its toll, then fades away
The toll the sun takes, symbolizing life's challenges, and its eventual fading.
Nights are long, in a lonely place
Long, lonely nights in a desolate place.
Darkness shows just where you are now
Darkness revealing the current state or situation.
I've been outside, drifting outside
Reiteration of being outside, drifting for an extended period.
So long; can't start again
Emphasizing the difficulty of initiating a new beginning.
And I've been outside, living outside
Continued experience of living outside established norms.
Don't see me walkin' back in
Reiterating the speaker's reluctance to return to the conventional.
I think about you now
Thinking about someone at present.
And again, my autumn love
Reference to a past love, possibly associated with autumn.
I think about you now and again
Repetition of thinking about someone intermittently.
Somethin' 'bout your name
The significance of the person's name, which has a presence in the wind.
It moves within the wind
The name's impact, moving within the wind, suggesting a lasting influence.
I think about you now and again
Reiterating the contemplation of the person from the past.
Nostalgia's great; old stories are good
Positive view of nostalgia and the value of old stories.
Nothin' like the old times
Reiteration of the uniqueness and irreplaceability of old times.
