Lyrics
I dial you at home again
I reach out to you at your residence once again.
I'm happy that you're in
I'm pleased that you are present or available.
I'm laughing at an afterthought
I'm amused by a thought occurring to me after the fact.
It's been happening a lot
This occurrence has been frequent.
With everything that's happening though
Despite all that is happening in our lives.
When reality explodes
When reality becomes overwhelming.
Suddenly we're sinking
Suddenly, we find ourselves in a difficult situation.
And I'm singing, and I'm old
As I sing, I reflect on the passage of time and aging.
Now what were we talking about now?
Now, what was the topic of our conversation?
I keep on losing count
I frequently lose track or forget.
I'm laughing and I don't know why
I laugh without understanding the reason behind it.
A ripple off the sky
A visual effect resembling a ripple in the sky.
The steeple in the green of the clouds
A church steeple against the backdrop of green clouds.
Seen the other way around
Viewed from a different perspective.
Contrailing like corduroy
Creating a pattern similar to corduroy in the sky.
Then spinning in the ground
Then descending or spiraling into the ground.
Well that's the way the season sounds
This is the way the current season is perceived or heard.
The eleventh hour now
Referring to a critical or urgent moment.
When coal is cut across the sky
Describing the appearance of coal cutting through the sky.
In saturated dye
In a deeply saturated color.
An actual emergency now
An actual and immediate crisis or urgent situation.
It's really going down
The situation is truly unfolding or happening.
Curled up by the fireside
Curled up next to the fireside.
The county sleeps tonight
The community or region is in a state of rest or sleep tonight.
