Lyrics
I thought it was funny when you missed the train
Reflects a humorous perspective on missing the train.
When I rang you at home they said you left yesterday
Finding out the person had already left the day before.
I thought it was strange when your car was found
Finding the person's car in a familiar place.
By the tree in Ennis where we used to hang around
Referencing a nostalgic location where memories were made.
Dear Isobel
Beginning a letter or message to Isobel.
I hope you're well and what you've done is right
Expressing concern and a wish for Isobel's actions to be right.
Oh it's been such hell
Describing the emotional turmoil experienced.
I wish you well I hope your safe tonight
Wishing safety and well-being for Isobel.
It's been a long day coming and long will it last
Highlighting the passage of time, indicating a prolonged struggle.
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass by loving you more
Supporting and loving Isobel through the difficulties.
And who he would become, all the things he'd have done
Contemplating the potential of another person's life.
Would he have loved you, and not let you down
Questioning if this person would have truly cared for Isobel.
And would he be stronger than his father
Wondering if this person would surpass past mistakes.
Don't punish yourself, leave it well alone
Advising against self-blame or dwelling on the situation.
Dear Isobel
Resuming the message to Isobel.
I hope you're well and what you've done is right
Reiterating concern and hope for the correctness of Isobel's actions.
Oh it's been such hell
Expressing the intensity of the difficult situation.
I wish you well I hope your safe tonight
Wishing safety and wellness for Isobel again.
It's been a long day coming and long will it last
Re-emphasizing the prolonged nature of the struggle.
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass by loving you more
Continuing to support and love Isobel through the difficulties.
It's been a long day coming and long will it last
Repetition emphasizing the enduring nature of the hardship.
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass by loving, loving you more.
Continuing to express love and support for Isobel.
