Writing on the Wall
Unraveling Dreams: George Jones' Heartfelt Journey Through Love and Loss
Lyrics
She was holding back the tears
She was trying to hold back her tears.
As I packed up the last few years
I packed up the last few years of our life together.
And said I'm tired of being so tied down
She expressed her fatigue from feeling emotionally constrained or tied down.
I'm sure the kids will understand
Assuming the children would comprehend that their father is making new life plans.
That daddy's making other plans
The father acknowledges that he's pursuing different paths in life.
I grabbed my bags and I was free and bound
The narrator left, feeling liberated.
And then I saw the writing on the wall
The narrator becomes aware of a message or warning about the consequences of his choices.
It said we love you daddy most of all
The message on the wall expresses love for the father despite his decisions.
There in purple crayons scrabbled knee high in the hall
The affectionate message is visible, created by the kids using purple crayons, at a height suitable for them.
I saw the writing on the wall
The narrator realizes the significance of the message on the wall.
In the new world of being free
In the newfound freedom, the narrator starts experiencing the haunting memories of leaving.
Their mem'ries starting haunting me
The memories of the family begin to trouble the narrator.
I headed home as fast as I could
The narrator rushes back home as quickly as possible.
I still picked the same old door
Returning to the familiar door despite expecting changes.
But no one live there anymore
Realizing that nobody lives in the same house anymore.
And that tender message made my teardrops flow
The touching message from the children triggers the narrator's tears.
And then I saw the writing on the wall
The narrator once again notices a significant message or warning on the wall.
I saw the writing on the wall
The narrator fully comprehends the impact of his choices, symbolized by the writing on the wall.
