Johnny Remember Me
Eternal Echoes: Johnny's Haunting Remembrance in the Winds
Lyrics
When the mist's a-rising and the rain is falling
During misty and rainy weather, with a cold wind blowing across the moor.
And the wind is blowing cold across the moor
Continuing to describe the atmospheric conditions.
I hear the voice of my darlin'
The speaker hears the voice of their lost love.
The girl I loved and lost a year ago
Referring to a girl the speaker loved but lost a year ago.
(Johnny remember me)
Repetition of the title phrase, "Johnny remember me."
Well it's hard to believe I know
Expressing disbelief at the situation.
But I hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Hearing the loved one's voice in the wind.
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me
Describing the sound of the wind in the tree tops above.
(Johnny remember me)
Repetition of the title phrase.
Yes I'll always remember
Commitment to always remember the lost love.
Till the day I die
Expressing the commitment until death.
I'll hear her cry
The speaker will always hear the loved one crying.
Johnny remember me
Reiteration of the title phrase.
Well some day I guess
Anticipating finding another love in the future.
I'll find myself another little girl
Expecting to replace the lost love someday.
To take the place of my true love
Acknowledging the challenge of replacing the true love.
But as long as I live I know
Despite finding a new love, the speaker expects to hear the lost love in the wind.
I'll hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Repetition of hearing the lost love in the wind.
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me
Describing the sound of the wind in the tree tops.
(Johnny remember me)
Repetition of the title phrase.
Yes I'll always remember
Reaffirming the commitment to always remember.
Till the day I die
Expressing the commitment until death.
I'll hear her cry
Reiterating the expectation to always hear the loved one crying.
Johnny remember me
Final repetition of the title phrase.
(Johnny remember me)
Repetition of the title phrase as a closing remark.
