The Presence Of The Past
Echoes of Memories: David SweetLow's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
I sent an invitation
I extended an invitation
But it landed on the grass
But it fell on the grass
So with no infatuation
So, without any strong passion
I put it in the past
I decided to move on from it
Ooh ooh
Expressing emotions, possibly a sigh or reflection
Ooh ooh
-And it won't be in the sentiment
Rejecting sentimentality as it's not enduring
Cause that would never last
Because it wouldn't withstand the test of time
It's gotta be a memory
It must become a cherished memory
To permeate the past
To pervade and influence the past
I'll never be with you again
Expressing a realization that a relationship won't continue
Behind closed doors
-Oh this and that can't do again
Regret about irreversible actions or decisions
I'm manning out the cause
-Ooh ooh
Expressing emotions or reactions
Ooh ooh
-I swore along that river bed
Recalling a specific experience by a river bed, hinting at secrecy
Hiding from the sun
-Imagination never said
-What started is undone
-Cromarty I might never see
Reflecting on the unlikelihood of a reunion, cherishing past moments
The likes of us no more
-But I'll recall forever days
-Huddled on that shore
-I'll never be with you again
Expressing the impossibility of reliving certain experiences
To take walks along the loch
-Oh this and that won't do again
-At Ullapool's small dock
-I'll never be with you again
Acceptance of not being together again, acknowledging the end of communication and contemplating the future
To fall in and out of love
-You and I won't speak again
-The future in thereof
-In the presence of the past
Emphasizing the significance of memories and experiences from the past
In the presence of the past
-In the presence of the past
-In the presence of the past
-
