Fire on the Ridge
Homeward Bound: Journey Through Storms and Embers
Lyrics
As the day is long
Expressing that time feels extended or endless.
and the night is dark
Referencing the darkness and obscurity of the night.
And the road goes on
Describing the continuation of a journey.
I'm comin' home
Indicating a return home.
There's a fire burning on the ridge
Referring to a visible fire burning on a high point of land.
I can see those orange embers glow
Observing the glowing embers of the fire.
And the smoke is rollin' down the hill
Noting the descent of smoke from the hill due to wind.
But we've got hundreds of miles left to go
Despite the sight of the fire, there's still a significant distance to travel.
We're headed to the mountains in the west
Heading towards the western mountains.
And we're headed towards a storm
Anticipating encountering a storm ahead on the journey.
And as the lightning strikes above our heads
Describing the experience of lightning striking during the storm.
We are all road worn
Feeling worn out or fatigued due to constant traveling.
I can hear you calling out to me
Hearing someone calling out, possibly a loved one.
Your voice sounds so nice it sounds like a dream
Appreciating the pleasantness and dream-like quality of the voice.
But that road is long and I'm so weary
Expressing exhaustion due to the lengthy journey.
We've gone 40 days and nights with no sleep
Highlighting extreme fatigue after a prolonged period without rest.
I can hear you calling out to me
Reiteration of hearing someone calling out.
And your voice sounds so nice it sounds like a dream
Re-emphasizing the pleasantness of the voice despite weariness.
But the road is long and I'm so weary
Reiterating tiredness due to the extended journey.
Oh will you wait for me say yes baby please
Requesting the person to wait patiently despite weariness.
