Santa Rosa Nights: Embracing Memories Under Southern Skies
Lyrics
Thinking back to last November
Reflecting on the past November.
We sat out in the yard and stared up at the stars
Sharing a moment outdoors, gazing at the stars.
And watched the glowing of the embers
Observing the fading glow of embers, possibly from a fire.
The last of the fire we used to keep us warm
Recalling the warmth of a fire that once kept them warm.
But here, south of Santa Rosa
Current location is south of Santa Rosa.
It's a beautiful night, and it hits just right
Describing a beautiful night that feels just right.
I see the trails of other people leaving
Noticing the traces of others departing.
It's a beautiful life, but it's cold sometimes
Acknowledging life's beauty but recognizing its occasional coldness.
And I wish you were here
Expressing a longing for someone's presence.
I said that I'd call when I got to Nashville
Promise to call upon reaching Nashville.
But I never did, it was out of my hands
Admitting failure to make the promised call, citing circumstances.
But I still think about you often
Continued thoughts about the person, despite physical distance.
Out from where I am, I hope you understand
Hoping for understanding from the distant location.
But here, south of Santa Rosa
Reiterating the beauty of the night in the new location.
It's a beautiful night, and it hits just right
Emphasizing the perfect feel of the current night.
I see the trails of other people leaving
Observing the departure of others in the surroundings.
It's a beautiful life, but it's cold sometimes
Acknowledging the beauty of life but noting its occasional chill.
And I wish you were here
Expressing a continued desire for the absent person's presence.
