Gone
Eternal Echoes: Johnny Cash's Poetic Journey Through Dreams and Loss
Lyrics
At the end of the day when all had been done
Reflecting on the completion of the day's actions
And all had been said
Considering all that has been communicated
In the kitchen laughing with you
Sharing laughter in the kitchen
Before I went to bed
Before going to sleep
My face in the light illuminated
Face lit up in the light, feeling secure
Untroubled and safe
Untroubled and safe emotions
As your face is shining upon me
Feeling the presence of a loved one
A love that would never cease
A love that is enduring
Out where the cold wind blows
In a harsh, cold environment
It rocks my childhood sleep
Interrupting childhood sleep with the cold wind
And up in the starry skies
Referencing the vastness of the starry skies
And further out to sea
Extending to the boundless sea
Late in time when it will come
Anticipating a future moment
I see it in my dreams
Dreaming of this moment
At night with the cold wind blowing
Nighttime with a chilly breeze
At night with the cold wind blowing outside
Repeating the imagery of a cold wind at night
Gone the dream, it's all faded now
The dream has vanished, faded away
Gone the dream, it's all faded now
Reiteration of the disappearance of the dream
Take me home
Expressing a desire to return home
Hours pass ticking slowly
Passing time slowly
Lying wide awake
Being wide awake in bed
All across the land the lights are out
Darkness across the land, under an open sky
Under an open sky
Empathy for others dreaming under the sky
I feel for you and everybody
Feeling compassion for everyone
Dreaming in your beds
Others dreaming peacefully in their beds
I'm feeling lost, there is nothing
A sense of being lost, experiencing emptiness
Nothing more than this
Acknowledging the current state of existence
Going out where the cold wind blows
Returning to the harsh, cold environment
It rocks my childhood sleep
Interrupting childhood sleep with the cold wind again
And up in the starry skies
Revisiting the vast starry skies and the sea
And further out to sea
Extending thoughts further into the future
Late in time when it will come
Anticipating a specific moment in time
I see it in my dreams
Seeing the anticipated moment in dreams
At night with the cold wind blowing
Repeating the imagery of a cold wind at night
At night with the cold wind blowing
Reiteration of the nighttime cold wind
