Lyrics
When the skies come, to sweep up the floors
When challenges arise or difficult times come
And the night comes, to open the doors
When darkness falls and opportunities present themselves
All blues are gone & the white lights are on
All sadness has disappeared, and clarity or enlightenment is present
While leaves dance a tango on somebody's lawn
Leaves are engaged in a lively dance on someone's lawn
On the rising, a pencil line, sandalwood shore
A metaphorical description of a beautiful shoreline with rising tides and fragrant sandalwood
And in the end, I'm going down swinging
Despite challenges, facing the end with a fighting spirit
Standing out in the pouring rain
Standing resolute in adverse conditions, possibly facing emotional storms
All of our friends will be singing
Anticipation of support and camaraderie from friends during tough times
The band plays "Long Black Veil" again
A reference to a song ("Long Black Veil") being played by the band, suggesting a connection to memories or emotions
When the day is done, & the skies move alive in your head
Reflecting on the conclusion of the day and the vivid imagination or thoughts in one's mind
And the weight has come, an ocean of oranges & red
Feeling burdened, as symbolized by an overwhelming ocean of oranges and reds (possibly emotions or challenges)
The sun's setting somewhere, so maybe we'll go there
A recognition of the sunset somewhere, suggesting a possibility for renewal or a fresh start
We'll be there tomorrow while chasing today
Commitment to being present in the moment, balancing the pursuit of tomorrow with enjoying today
I find amazement, lost in something you said
Finding wonder or awe in something someone said, experiencing a moment of revelation
You can't put it on, can't put it on
Expressing the inability to easily wear or adopt something, possibly referring to intangible aspects like emotions
And then the night comes
A repetition of the idea of night falling, emphasizing a cyclical nature or the passage of time
It's time to go home
A recognition that it's time to return to the familiar or comfortable, possibly signaling the end of a journey or experience
