Time on Your Side
Time Unraveled: Reflections on Life's Journey Through Song
Lyrics
He drives a truck
He works as a truck driver.
And he makes time on his side
He effectively manages his time.
But water splashes from his flaps for miles
Water splashes from the truck's flaps for long distances.
And three am only at five in the dark
At 3 am, which feels like 5 am in the dark, he continues his journey.
As he moves away
He moves away.
Hey hey
Repetition or emphasis in the form of "Hey hey."
Not much to do
There's not much to do when time is abundant.
When you've got time on your side
Having ample time prompts reflection on a potentially wasted life.
You sit and think about your wasted life
Sitting and contemplating the choices made in life.
I tried to move
The singer attempted to make changes in life.
Change things through and through
Striving for a thorough transformation.
Why does your face grow so long my dear
Questioning why the listener's face looks sad or disappointed.
Why did your hair grow so long this year
Asking about the listener's long hair this year.
And why'd your face grow so long my dear
Repeating the query about the listener's sad expression.
And why'd your hair grow so far, so low this year
Repeating the question about the listener's long hair, with emphasis on the low position.
Oh and so long, so long this year
Expressing a sense of longing or duration throughout the year.
She's a dancer when she dances she is free
Describing a person who feels liberated and free while dancing.
And three in the morning and the clouds rise in the east to
At 3 am, clouds rise in the east while listening to Frank Sinatra repeatedly.
Frank Sinatra which her parents put on repeat, on repeat
Highlighting the repetition of Frank Sinatra's music by her parents.
