Beyond the River Bend
Journey Through Memories: Finding Peace Beyond the River Bend
Lyrics
There's a path that leads back through my memories
Reflecting on a path in the speaker's memories.
And how often I've walked it these days
Expressing frequent walks along the remembered path.
Where I find sweet piece among the flowers
Finding peace among flowers along the way.
On the grassy banks beyond the river bend
Describing grassy banks situated beyond the river bend.
But it's only a memory
Emphasizing that the experience is now a memory.
Yes it's only a memory my friend
Reiterating that the remembered time is in the past.
Yes it's only a memory
Emphasizing the transient nature of the memory.
I can never go back home again
Expressing the impossibility of returning home.
Down by the river
Locating the speaker's thoughts by the river.
Down by the old river bend
Referring to a specific spot at the old river bend.
Down by the river
Repeating the setting by the river.
The sweet fragrance of flowers
Highlighting the pleasant scent of flowers.
Oh it seems life troubles and trials
Expressing that life challenges become more difficult.
Get harder and harder to mend
Indicating challenges are increasingly hard to overcome.
Oh how sweet it would be to sit down
Desiring to sit and find solace in a specific place.
On the grassy banks beyond the river bend
Repeating the desire to be on the grassy banks beyond the river bend.
But it's only a memory
Reiterating that the experience is confined to memory.
Yes it's only a memory my friend
Emphasizing the transient nature of the remembered time.
Yes it's only a memory
Underlining that the memory cannot be revisited.
I can never go back home again
Restating the impossibility of returning home.
Down by the river
Referring again to the speaker's thoughts by the river.
Down by the old river bend
Repeating the specific location at the old river bend.
Down by the river
Reiterating the setting by the river.
The sweet fragrance of flowers
Re-emphasizing the pleasant fragrance of flowers.
