Lyrics
These lyin' lips said, they'd forget
Deceptive words were spoken, promising to forget.
Those same lovin' arms that I miss
Referring to the loving arms that are missed.
This foolish heart that let me part
The narrator's heart made the mistake of allowing a separation.
From those sweet, tender lips, I long to kiss
Expressing a longing for the sweet and tender lips that were parted from.
I hear the ticking of the clock, as it begged me then to stop
The ticking of the clock is symbolic of time passing, urging the narrator to halt.
Each picture on the wall seemed to cry
Pictures on the wall evoke emotional responses, possibly related to memories.
And that old rusty gate, I can hear it beg me, wait
A rusty gate is personified, pleading for the narrator to wait.
While the curtain in the window waves goodbye
The curtain in the window signifies a farewell as it waves goodbye.
Turn around
An instruction to turn around, perhaps suggesting reflection or regret.
In memory, I still can see
A recollection of past experiences, visualizing arms that once embraced the narrator.
Two arms, that once held me tight
The memory of arms that used to hold the narrator tightly.
Oh, how I miss a tender kiss
The narrator expresses a longing for a tender kiss.
From those lovin' lips that I kissed goodbye
Reflecting on the loving lips that were kissed goodbye.
I hear the ticking of the clock, as it begged me then to stop
The ticking clock persists, urging the narrator to stop and reflect.
Each picture on the wall seemed to cry
Pictures on the wall continue to evoke emotional responses.
And that old rusty gate, I can hear it beg me, wait
The old rusty gate still pleads, asking the narrator to wait.
While the curtain in the window waves goodbye
The curtain in the window continues to symbolize a farewell, waving goodbye.
While the curtain in the window waves goodbye
Reiteration of the curtain bidding farewell as it waves goodbye.
