Lyrics
Recall the time we hid behind the hay bales
Reflecting on a past time of hiding behind hay bales
And the fields they seemed to reach at me like glass
Fields appeared vast and transparent, reaching out like glass
Far from my mind there was a breaking love at sunrise
A breaking love was distant from the speaker's thoughts at sunrise
My days kept sending me lovely postcards
Days were filled with pleasant memories, like receiving postcards
One said an old friend up and died
One postcard conveyed the news of an old friend's passing
When the snow melts to mud like it always does
As snow melts into mud, a recurring natural process
It's then you will see it through
Insight comes when obstacles are overcome
If the road never passed
Contemplating the impact if the road didn't follow a straight path
So straight in it's path
The road is questioned for its unwavering course
Would I lose interest in time
Speculating on losing interest if the road were different
Shine all day
Expressing a desire for continuous brightness throughout the day
Keep shining at night
Seeking enduring radiance even during the night
Give me a memory to find
Requesting a memorable experience to cherish
Can you feel the silence ring against your head
Sensory perception of silence resonating against the head
Does it worry you that planes don't cross above
Reflecting on the absence of planes crossing above, evoking concern
When you work all day and that simple silence stays
Enduring a simple silence after a day's work
It's then you vision one you love
In moments of silence, thoughts drift to a loved one
If the road never passed
Reiteration of questioning the impact if the road deviated
So straight in it's path
Revisiting the straight path of the road and its potential consequences
Would I lose interest in time
Contemplating the effect on interest if the road were different
Shine all day
Yearning for continuous brightness throughout the day
Keep shining at night
Desiring sustained radiance even during the night
Give me a memory to find
Requesting a memorable experience to hold onto
With the sun beating in I was finding my way back
Guided by the sun, finding one's way back from a challenging situation
From the black hills on down to Lusk
Traveling from the black hills down to Lusk, recounting a journey
Long I ride with no fear of surprise
Long rides without fear, possibly alluding to personal growth
Falling over into dusk
Approaching the evening without trepidation
If the road never passed
Reiteration of contemplating the impact of the road's straight path
So straight in it's path
Reflecting on the straightness of the road and its consequences
Would I lose interest in time
Considering the potential loss of interest if the road were different
Shine all day
Expressing a desire for continuous brightness throughout the day
Keep shining at night
Seeking enduring radiance even during the night
Give me a memory to find
Requesting a memorable experience to cherish
