Lyrics
I know I must be leaving
I acknowledge that I need to depart
It's a cold and it's a freezing afternoon
Referring to a cold and freezing afternoon, possibly symbolizing a difficult or unwelcoming situation
I know I must be leaving
Reiteration of the awareness of the need to leave
From this schoolhouse that you might see one day soon
Leaving a schoolhouse, anticipating a future reunion
But almost every night
Expressing a recurring dream experienced almost every night
I keep having this recurring dream
Describing the recurring dream without specific details
That I can divide ten by three
Mentioning the ability to divide ten by three within the dream, possibly representing a surreal or illogical aspect
But it's just a dream
Acknowledging that the dream is just a dream
And it works for me
The dream is beneficial or effective in some way
And it works for me
Reiteration of the dream's positive impact
I know I must be leaving
Reaffirming the realization of the necessity to leave
As the sound of silence echoes round the room
Noting the presence of silence as departure approaches
I know I must be leaving
Repeating the understanding that leaving is necessary
In the hope that one day we'll pull through
Expressing hope for a positive outcome in the future
But almost every night
Reiteration of the recurring dream experienced at night
I keep having this recurring dream
Describing the dream without specific details
That I can divide ten by three
Mentioning the illogical act of dividing ten by three within the dream
But it's just a dream
Acknowledging the dream's nature as unreal or fanciful
And it works for me
The dream has a positive impact or significance
And it works for me
Reiteration of the positive effect of the dream
