Sandy Grey's Departure: A Melodic Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Oh Sandy Grey, are you going away?
Expressing concern about Sandy Grey's departure.
Leave me a message before parting
Requesting a message before parting.
Time has changed you and the
Noticing changes in Sandy Grey over time.
Things that pain you
Referencing things that cause pain to Sandy Grey.
Are the things you think
Suggesting that the things causing pain are on Sandy Grey's mind as a new phase begins.
Of as you're starting
Describing the starting point of a new journey.
Oh Sandy Grey, it's only this I'll pray:
Expressing a prayer for Sandy Grey to stay and share laughter for one more day.
That you might stay here one
An appeal for an extended presence.
More day in laughter
Inviting Sandy Grey to hang around and recount lies previously told.
Won't you hang around and hold me
Asking for physical comfort through holding.
Repeat all the lies you told me?
Requesting the repetition of lies as a form of connection.
- Do your rambling after
Suggesting that Sandy Grey can ramble after providing comfort.
Oh Sandy Grey
Pondering why Sandy Grey initially chose to stay.
Whatever made you want to stay?
Questioning the motivation behind Sandy Grey's decision to leave.
And now what makes you want to be a leaving?
Asking if departure is related to a past event, possibly the death of Sandy Grey's father.
Is it the same thing they found
Exploring the reasons for leaving.
When they laid your father down
Speculating on whether Sandy Grey's reasons are significant.
Or are your reasons even worth retrieving?
Questioning the value of Sandy Grey's motivations.
Oh Sandy Grey, don't leave me just today
Pleading for Sandy Grey not to leave on this day.
Don't think on the road you'll be a-going
Advising Sandy Grey to focus on the present instead of contemplating the journey.
Think of all the time and the
Encouraging reflection on past shared experiences.
Days we've had to mind
Highlighting the preciousness of time and days spent together.
Of the future, there's no way of knowing
Emphasizing uncertainty about the future.
Oh Sandy Grey, I thought I heard you say
Recalling a statement from Sandy Grey about not hearing the speaker's words.
That you ain't heard one word
Addressing a perceived lack of attention from Sandy Grey.
That I've been speaking
Expressing futility in trying to escape from the speaker's thoughts.
There's no use in trying you
Asserting that Sandy Grey cannot avoid being in the speaker's mind.
Escaping from my mind
Recognizing the speaker's inability to understand the world Sandy Grey seeks.
And I'll never see the world you're seeking
Accepting the divergence in perspectives and experiences.
Oh Sandy Grey, are you going away?
Repeating the initial concern about Sandy Grey's departure.
Leave me a message before parting
Reiterating the request for a message before parting.
Time has changed you and the
Reemphasizing the impact of time on Sandy Grey and the things that cause pain.
Things that pain you
Restating the connection between pain and thoughts during the departure.
Are the things you think
Highlighting the association between thoughts and the beginning of a new phase.
Of as you're starting
Expressing the mental state as a new journey commences.
