Cold Autumn Shadow
Embracing Loss: Cold Autumn Shadows Speak of Love's Departure
Lyrics
When the leaving birds fill the storm grey sky
Describing the departure of birds against a stormy sky.
And the green, green leaves turn away and die
Expressing the changing season as leaves wither and fall.
And the once warm sun has to run and hide
Symbolizing the loss of warmth and comfort as the sun hides.
And the winter clouds begin their stormy ride
Depicting the onset of winter with stormy clouds.
Cold black shadows cross my eyes
Referring to dark, depressing thoughts or memories.
And help to make me realize
Realization of a significant loss.
You've gone, oh, cold autumn Sunday
Reiterating the emotional impact of the departure on a cold autumn Sunday.
Still I'll walk alone the path we shared
Expressing a solitary journey along a shared path.
And I'll try to recreate the love we had
Attempting to revive and recreate the lost love.
For you were my life and my heart is sad
Acknowledging the deep sadness caused by the departed loved one.
And it's strange how autumn used to make me glad
Reflecting on the contrast of current sorrow with past autumn joy.
Only now an empty sky is there
Describing an empty sky as a metaphor for emotional emptiness.
To let me know how much I care
Recognizing the extent of caring and emotional impact.
You've gone, oh, cold autumn Sunday
Reiterating the emotional impact of the departure on a cold autumn Sunday.
I'm near to dying
Expressing extreme emotional distress and proximity to death.
No use denying that it's true
Accepting the undeniable truth of the dire situation.
Spend my whole time crying
Describing a continuous state of mourning and sadness.
Finding ways of trying not to be blue
Engaging in various coping mechanisms to overcome the blues.
Oh, over you
Expressing the difficulty of moving on from the departed loved one.
I'm near to dying
Reiteration of extreme emotional distress and proximity to death.
No use denying that it's true
Reaffirming the acceptance of the undeniable truth.
Spend my whole time crying
Continuation of a state of constant mourning and sadness.
Finding ways of trying not to be blue
Continued efforts to find ways to alleviate the emotional pain.
Oh, over you
Reiterating the difficulty of moving on from the departed loved one.
When the leaving birds fill the storm grey sky
Recurrence of the description of the changing autumn landscape.
And the green, green leaves turn away and die
Repetition of the imagery of leaves turning away and dying.
And the once warm sun has to run and hide
Reiterating the loss of warmth and the retreat of the sun.
And the winter clouds begin their stormy ride
Repeating the arrival of winter and stormy clouds.
Cold black shadows cross my eyes
Recurrence of cold black shadows symbolizing emotional darkness.
And help to make me realize
Reiteration of the realization of a significant loss.
You've gone, oh, cold autumn Sunday
Final reiteration of the emotional impact of the departure on a cold autumn Sunday.
