In a New Bed
Time's Changing Beds: Reflecting on Lost Love
Lyrics
I remember when I would, stroke your hair
The speaker reminisces about a time when they used to lovingly touch the other person's hair.
You turn and tell me, you had no other cares
The other person would assure the speaker that they had no other worries or concerns.
But when we went and walked the inner streets
Recalling moments when they walked through inner city streets together.
The joy the life we felt beneath our feet
Describing the joy and vibrancy they felt during those walks.
But time changes we turn pages
Expressing that time brings changes, symbolized by turning pages.
And everything we said, turns golden dead
Acknowledging that words spoken in the past now hold a nostalgic and golden, yet lifeless, quality.
But time changes fades old faces
Reiterating that time alters things, causing familiar faces to fade away.
She sleeps, in a new bed
Indicating that the person referenced now sleeps in a new bed, suggesting a new life or relationship.
Sure enough, you'll have a new man now
Suggesting that the person now has a new partner.
Something he can give i find myself without
Highlighting something the new man can provide that the speaker lacks.
And I can eat all the, oranges and pears
Metaphorically mentioning consuming fruits, implying a sense of bitterness and loss.
But she ain't coming back she says
Stating that the person will not return, and the relationship simply comes to an end.
Simply ends
Emphasizing the finality of the separation.
But time changes we turn pages
Repeating the theme of time changing and the spoken words turning into memories.
And everything we said, turns golden dead
Reiterating the idea that what was once said has now become golden but lifeless.
But time changes fades old faces
Continuing the theme of time changing and erasing the familiarity of old faces.
She sleeps, in a new bed
Repeating that the person now sleeps in a new bed, signifying a new chapter in their life.
Well time changes we turn pages
Emphasizing again the changes brought by time, turning pages and altering relationships.
And everything we were with someone else
Acknowledging that everything shared with the other person is now experienced with someone else.
But time changes we build new spaces
Highlighting the creation of new spaces and experiences as time progresses.
And she sleeps humming
Mentioning that the person now sleeps while humming, perhaps suggesting contentment or moving on.
She sleeps, in a new bed
Reiterating that the person sleeps in a new bed, emphasizing the finality and change in their life.
