Just After Perth
Journey Beyond Perth: Embracing Beauty in Life's Transitions
Lyrics
Last time I drove up the road felt like winter's arm had broken again
Felt a sense of desolation and harshness during a winter drive.
We stopped just after Perth leaving the Central Belt's mocking grin
Stopped after Perth, encountering a sense of mockery from the landscape of the Central Belt.
Looked above me, it was like the sun is at war through which birds fly
Observed a conflict in the sky, with birds navigating through a sun that seems to be at war.
There's a beauty in the sky
Recognized a certain beauty in the sky.
There's a beauty in the sky
Emphasizes the enduring beauty in the sky.
Get in the car and Gram Parsons comes on the radio
Listening to Gram Parsons on the radio while in the car.
Early Byrds soundtrack the melting snow
The early Byrds' music accompanies the melting snow.
Road continues north, there's not a mile of it I don't know
Driving north on a familiar road.
There's a beauty in this road
Finding beauty in the journey on this road.
There's a beauty in this road
Reiterating the beauty found in the ongoing journey.
Clouds slowly rage like waves bursting into a highland sky
Describing the clouds as slowly moving like waves in a highland sky.
Blue and pink shattering in the coils of all their might
Colorful imagery of blue and pink clouds shattering with powerful force.
I glance past you next to me green blur getting left behind
Noticing a green blur (landscape) fading away in the rearview mirror.
There's a beauty in this life
Finding beauty in the experiences and moments of life.
There's a beauty in this life
Reiterating the appreciation for the beauty found in life.
Radio's moved on to a song I've never heard but you're humming the tune
The radio transitions to an unfamiliar song, but shared enjoyment with someone humming along.
Singing, making up the bits you don't know like you do
Describing the act of singing, making up parts of the song with joy.
And I'm smiling just a little bit, you're smiling too
Both the narrator and the companion share a moment of happiness, reflected in their smiles.
There's a beauty in you
Recognizing beauty in the companion.
There's a beauty in you
Reiterating the acknowledgment of beauty in the companion.
Last time I drove down the road was like winter's face was cold again
A recurrence of a wintry and cold feeling during another drive down the road.
We stopped just after Perth on the way back south in the rain
Stopping again after Perth, this time in the rain during the journey south.
Soon we'll leave for the last time wish the central belt goodbye
Expressing a farewell to the Central Belt with a recognition of the impending final departure.
But there's a beauty in this Sky
Reiterating the beauty observed in the sky, possibly as a reminder of the journey.
