Lost Promises in Old Laredo: A Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
we lost the train through old Laredo yesterday
We missed the train in old Laredo yesterday.
you turned your back on the tracks while I held on to those words you said
You turned away from the tracks while I clung to your spoken words.
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go whichever way
Accept the situation, let it unfold in any direction.
how dare you run away from all that promise
Expressing surprise or disappointment at someone fleeing from commitment or potential.
it's apropos of all the things that we have left behind us, all we'll ever know
Reflecting on things left behind and acknowledging the limited understanding of what lies ahead.
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go whichever way
Reiterating the need to let go and allow events to unfold naturally.
your kisses haven't felt like this is honest, your breath is held at bay
Expressing doubts about the sincerity of affection, breath being held suggests tension.
wild as the dream I'll never catch and you would sooner chase
Comparing a passionate dream to something unattainable, while noting the preference for chasing it.
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go whichever way
Emphasizing the importance of letting go and allowing things to happen without resistance.
I don't know if it's over
Expressing uncertainty about the current state of the relationship.
right now, this is all that I can say
Acknowledging the limitation in providing more information at the moment.
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go whichever way
Reiterating the need to let go and accept the current circumstances.
i'll write the same old song of sorrow the same way
Mentioning a recurring theme of sorrow and feeling trapped in the same situation.
you know the one where this old town can't show them shelter and I can't get away
Describing a town that fails to provide refuge and a feeling of being unable to escape.
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go whichever way
Repeating the message of letting go and allowing things to unfold naturally.
i see that shallow sheltered promise i proposed falling gently passed a trembling crescent right off your nose
Observing a failed promise descending and disappearing, possibly symbolizing a broken commitment.
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go whichever way
Reiterating the importance of letting go despite the observed disappointment.
I don't know if it's over
Expressing uncertainty about the status of the relationship.
right now, this is all that I can say
Repeating the limitation in providing more information at the moment.
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Emphasizing, once again, the need to let go and accept the situation.
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go whichever way
Reiterating the message of letting go and allowing events to unfold naturally.
we lost the train through old Laredo yesterday
Recalling the incident of missing the train in old Laredo from the past.
you turned your back on the tracks while I held on to the words you said
Highlighting the diverging actions—turning away from the tracks and holding onto spoken words.
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Reiterating the importance of letting go and accepting the current circumstances.
just let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go whichever way
Emphasizing, once again, the need to let go and allow events to unfold naturally.
