The Pretty Place
Journey to Serenity: The Pretty Place in Paul Kelly's Melodic Tapestry
Lyrics
Take me to the pretty place where once we used to run all day
Desire to return to a nostalgic and beautiful location where carefree running was once a regular activity.
From silver dawn to golden setting sun
Emphasizing the span of time from sunrise to sunset in the cherished place.
Take me where the water flows and bumps along on pebbled stones
Wishing to be in a spot where water flows over pebbles, creating a soothing and timeless melody.
And sweetly sings its never ending song
Highlighting the enduring beauty of nature, represented by the never-ending song of flowing water.
We're going to the pretty place, going to the pretty place
Repetition emphasizes the anticipation and excitement of going back to the beloved place.
Take me where the fishes swim and shimmer in and out of vision
Yearning for a location where fish gracefully move beneath the branches of a willow tree.
Underneath the hanging willow tree
Recalling a specific memory involving Charlie Boots breaking a rope, creating a humorous and shared experience.
Do you remember Charlie Boots? He broke the rope
Reflecting on a past moment of laughter and camaraderie on a slope with a friend named Charlie Boots.
Back on the slope we laughed so hard I thought I'd have to pee
Expressing the joy and humor of the shared memory with laughter so intense it felt uncontrollable.
Going to the pretty place, the pretty place
Reiteration of the excitement and anticipation of reaching the pretty place.
In my mind it's shining bright
Imagining the beauty of the place vividly in the mind, providing solace from the complexities of life.
I've had enough of all this stuff
Expressing a desire to escape from the burdens of life, seeking simplicity and beauty.
Now I'm going to he pretty place
Affirmation of the decision to go to the pretty place for a mental and emotional escape.
I know our pretty place has gone it's been so long
Acknowledging the passage of time and the realization that the original pretty place may no longer exist.
And everything and everyone I know is moving on
Recognizing the inevitability of change and the forward progression of life for oneself and others.
But though my eyes are growing dim still I can see the fishes swim
Despite physical limitations, retaining the ability to reminisce about the vibrant life in the pretty place.
And I can hear that never ending song
Reaffirmation of the enduring impact of the pretty place through memories and the perpetual song of nature.
I'm going to the pretty place, going to the pretty place
Reiteration of the determination to go to the pretty place, emphasizing its significance.
In my mind I see the light
An inner vision of brightness and readiness, possibly representing emotional preparedness for the journey.
I've never been so ready
Expressing a strong sense of readiness, possibly indicating a positive and eager mindset.
Now I'm going to the pretty place
Final affirmation of the decision to embark on the journey to the pretty place.
