Cabin in the Trees
Journey to the Past: Rediscovering Love in a Cabin Among Trees
Lyrics
Going back to the cabin in the trees
Reflecting on a return to a cabin situated in the trees.
Going back to the creek beneath the hill
Anticipating a revisit to the creek located beneath a hill.
There's a girl who used to live there when I left
Recalling the presence of a girl at the cabin when the narrator departed.
But I doubt she'll be waiting for me still
Expressing doubt that the girl will still be waiting upon the narrator's return.
Never thought I'd be gone so many years
Contemplating the unexpected duration of the narrator's absence.
When I left always planned that I'd return
Originally planning to return when leaving but facing a prolonged absence.
Time it slips away before we know
Reflecting on the passage of time, which often eludes our awareness.
Just one more lesson that we learn
Acknowledging the inevitability of time slipping away as a life lesson.
Going back to the cabin in the trees
Reiterating the intention to return to the cabin in the trees.
Going back to the creek beneath the hill
Reaffirming the plan to revisit the creek beneath the hill.
There's a girl who used to live there when I left
Recalling the presence of the girl at the cabin during the narrator's absence.
But I doubt she'll be waiting for me still
Expressing doubt about the girl still waiting upon the narrator's return.
Never thought I'd be gone so many years
Reiterating surprise at the prolonged duration of the narrator's absence.
When I left always planned that I'd return
Reiterating the initial plan to return when the narrator left.
Time it slips away before we know
Reflecting on the swift passage of time, often unnoticed.
Just one more lesson that we learn
Acknowledging the transient nature of time as a recurring life lesson.
Going back to the cabin in the trees
Reiterating the plan to return to the cabin in the trees.
Never thought I'd be gone so many years
Expressing surprise at the unexpected duration of the narrator's absence.
