Galveston
Yearning Breeze: Embracing Love and Loss in Galveston's Winds
Lyrics
Galveston, oh, Galveston
Expressing a strong connection to Galveston, a place with personal significance.
I still hear your sea winds blowin'
Recalling the auditory memory of the winds in Galveston.
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
Remembering the vivid image of someone with captivating dark eyes in Galveston.
She was twenty-one when I left Galveston
Reflecting on a departure from Galveston when the speaker's love interest was twenty-one.
Galveston, oh, Galveston
Reiterating the emotional connection to Galveston.
I still hear your sea waves crashing
Hearing the sound of the sea waves in Galveston.
While I watch the cannons flashing
Observing military activities (cannons flashing) while mentally in Galveston.
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
Engaging in a routine task (cleaning a gun) with thoughts focused on Galveston.
I still see her standing by the water
Recalling the image of the person standing by the water in Galveston.
Standing there lookin' out to sea
Describing the person looking out to sea in Galveston.
And is she waiting there for me?
Pondering whether the person is waiting for the speaker.
On the beach where we used to run
Reminiscing about moments spent on the beach in Galveston.
Galveston, oh, Galveston
Reaffirming the emotional connection to Galveston.
I am so afraid of dying
Expressing fear of dying before addressing the tears of the person in Galveston.
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Expressing concern about not being able to witness the beauty of sea birds in Galveston.
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
Anticipating the scene of sea birds flying in the sun in Galveston.
At Galveston, at Galveston
Reiterating the significance of Galveston in the speaker's emotions and memories.
