Cryin' Time
Farewell Echoes: Embracing the Tears in Cryin' Time
Lyrics
Well it's cryin' time again you're gonna leave me
Expressing the recognition that a period of sadness and heartbreak is approaching as the partner is about to leave.
I can see that far away look in your eyes
Observing a distant, emotional look in the partner's eyes, indicating a detachment or emotional separation.
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
Noticing through the partner's physical embrace that the departure is imminent, suggesting a lack of intimacy or connection.
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Anticipating that the upcoming departure will lead to a time of sorrow and emotional pain.
Now, they say that absent makes the heart grow founder
Referring to the common saying that being apart from a loved one strengthens affection, but expressing doubt in this idea.
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Stating that tears, often considered a symbol of emotional growth, cannot enhance the love in this particular relationship.
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger, no
Asserting that the current depth of love is already at its maximum and cannot be intensified further.
If I'd live to be a hundred years old
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the speaker's love, even if they were to live for a hundred years.
Oh, it's cryin' time again you're gonna leave me
Reiterating the impending departure and the emotional distance signaled by the partner's gaze.
I can see that far away look in your eyes
Echoing the recognition of a distant look in the partner's eyes as an indication of leaving.
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
Interpreting the partner's physical touch as a confirmation that they are preparing to leave.
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Repeating the expectation that a period of sadness is approaching due to the impending departure.
Now you say you found someone that you love better
Acknowledging the partner's claim of finding someone better, similar to past experiences.
Well that's the way it happened every time before
Highlighting a recurring pattern where the partner consistently leaves for someone else.
And as sure as the sun comes out tomorrow
Emphasizing the inevitability of the upcoming emotional pain when the partner walks away.
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door
Predicting that the time of crying will commence as soon as the partner exits.
Oh, it's cryin' time again you're gonna leave me
Reaffirming the imminent departure and the distant look in the partner's eyes as a sign of leaving.
I can see that far away look in your eyes
Reiterating the recognition of a distant look in the partner's eyes as an indication of leaving.
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
Interpreting the partner's physical touch as a confirmation that they are preparing to leave.
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Stating again the expectation that a period of sadness is approaching due to the impending departure.
Now it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Repeating the prediction that the time of crying will begin shortly.
Ooh yeah
Concluding with an affirmative acknowledgment that crying time is imminent.
