Closing Theme
Embracing Nostalgia: Matthew Grimson's Melodic Ode to Goodbyes
Lyrics
Let your daughters off the back porch
Encouraging the release or freedom of daughters from the home.
Dressed in lace and lilac linen
Describing the daughters' attire, emphasizing elegance and purity.
Take their hands and hush their giggling
Guiding and calming the daughters, possibly in preparation for an event.
The closing theme has come to town
Announcing the arrival of a significant event symbolized by "the closing theme."
Tie your grandfather's bow tie
Preparing a grandfather for the event, focusing on formal attire.
Give him a boutonniere and straw hat
Adding final touches to the grandfather's appearance with a boutonniere and a straw hat.
And sit him down into his lawn chair
Placing the grandfather in a lawn chair, suggesting a position of honor.
He sits up close so he can see
Ensuring the grandfather's proximity for a better view of the event.
And we'll all be there
Expressing the collective presence of a community or family at the event.
In our Sunday suits
Describing the attire of those attending, indicating a formal occasion.
And our graduation dress
Referring to both male and female attire for the occasion.
Goodbye, we'll never re-shingle your barn
Bidding farewell to a structure (barn) or a part of the past.
Or watch the leaves turn brown
Acknowledging the end of a season or a phase with the mention of leaves turning brown.
Our little league team has all turned out
Highlighting the presence of a youth sports team, paying respects to the event.
With their caps off, they point to the sky
Symbolizing a moment of respect or reflection with the removal of caps.
And down it comes with a grace it can't have
Describing the descent of something with an elegance it shouldn't possess.
The closing theme has come to town
Reiterating the arrival of the significant event represented by "the closing theme."
The closing theme has come to town
Reiterating the arrival of the significant event symbolized by "the closing theme."
