Lyrics

They bought it for the birch

They acquired something for the birch.

Then the birch was gone

Then the birch disappeared or was no longer present.

She planted daffodils

She planted daffodils.

Life goes on

Despite changes, life continues.


They almost lost it all

They faced a significant challenge or risked losing everything.

When the winter came

Difficulties intensified when winter arrived.

She started over

She decided to start anew or rebuild.

Seasons change

Highlighting the inevitability of changing seasons.


Looking at her picture

Reflecting on a picture of her.

I can almost hear her saying–

Expressing a sentiment she might have conveyed.


She’d say, “Kick off your Mary Janes and

Her words urging to remove accessories and join her.

Your coat and gloves and hang your hat

Specifically mentioning Mary Janes, coat, gloves, and hat.

It doesn’t matter where.

Emphasizing the insignificance of the location.

Come sit beside me, and

Inviting to sit together and discuss matters.

We can talk about it.”

Reassuring that conversation can help.

Wish that I could go back there.

Expressing a desire to return to that time.


OO, when I lose my way, I lose my light

Repeating the sentiment of losing one's way and light.

OO, what would she say to me tonight?

Pondering what she would say in the present.


Some days are out of focus,

Some days lack clarity or direction.

Sometimes you can’t explain.

Occasionally, situations are hard to articulate.

There’s a bigger picture

Highlighting a broader perspective beyond immediate challenges.

Outside the frame.

Suggesting that there's more to see outside the current circumstances.


When you’re too stuck in it

Being too immersed prevents seeing the bigger picture.

You can’t see beyond it.

Encouraging to take a moment to step back.

Take a slow minute.

Advocating for a slow and thoughtful pause.

Remember life goes on.

Reminding that life continues despite challenges.


Kick off your Mary Janes

Reiterating the earlier call to remove accessories.

Your coat and gloves and hang your hat,

Specifically mentioning Mary Janes, coat, gloves, and hat again.

It doesn’t matter where.

Emphasizing the unimportance of the location.

Come sit beside me.

Inviting to sit together once more.

And we can talk about it.

Reassuring that conversation can bring solace.

Wish that I could go back there.

Expressing a persistent desire to return to that time.


OO, I lose my way, I lose my light.

Reiterating the theme of losing one's way and light.

OO, what would she say to me tonight?

Pondering what she would say in the present, rephrased.


OO, I lost my way, I’ve lost my light.

Repeating the sentiment of losing one's way and light, reaffirmed.

OO, what would she say to me?

Pondering what she would say in the present, reiterated.

OO, I lost my way, I’ve lost my light.

Repeating the sentiment of losing one's way and light, once again.

OO, what would she say to me?

Pondering what she would say in the present, reiterated again.


Kick off your Mary Janes

Reiterating the earlier call to remove accessories, once more.

Your coat and gloves and hang your hat

Specifically mentioning Mary Janes, coat, gloves, and hat again.

It doesn’t matter where.

Emphasizing the unimportance of the location, repeated.
