The Meadow
Journey Through the Meadow of Reflection
Lyrics
Highway 90 westbound in the falling dark
Traveling west on Highway 90 in the evening.
Rolling past cornfields catfish farms and swamps
Passing by rural landscapes - cornfields, catfish farms, and swamps.
A Pascagoula sunset, a longing breaking through
Observing a sunset in Pascagoula, feeling a strong sense of longing.
Don't know why I'm always leaving I don't know why know why I left you
Expressing confusion and regret about a pattern of leaving without understanding the reasons.
Won't you meet me in the meadow, we could look up at the stars
Inviting someone to join in a tranquil place (meadow) to gaze at stars.
Lean into the wind dream again find out who we are
Suggesting a desire to reconnect, reflect, and rediscover oneself.
Won't you meet me in the meadow no more alone
Emphasizing the plea to avoid loneliness by meeting in the meadow.
We could lay down in the grass, till the feelings pass, then, go home
Proposing to lie down in the grass together, endure emotions, and then return home.
I have so much to tell you, I am ready to come clean
Expressing a readiness to be honest and open up about personal matters.
I'm so tired of running from things I cannot leave
Conveying weariness of avoiding unresolved issues.
You and me and Mississippi, battled, beautiful, scarred
Acknowledging the challenges in the relationship, comparing it to the state of Mississippi - both beautiful and scarred.
In need of forgiveness, and the grace of God
Highlighting the need for forgiveness and divine grace.
Won't you meet me in the meadow, we could look up at the stars
Reiterating the invitation to the meadow to rediscover and dream together.
Lean into the wind dream again find out who we are
Encouraging leaning into the wind, dreaming, and self-discovery.
Won't you meet me in the meadow no more alone
Insisting on avoiding loneliness by meeting in the meadow.
We could lay down in the grass, till the feelings pass, then, go home
Suggesting the idea of experiencing and overcoming emotions together before returning home.
Let's throw a blanket in the grass, till the feelings pass, then go home
Proposing a symbolic act of laying a blanket in the grass to endure emotions and then going home.
