Irish Goodbye
Farewell in the Rain: Unspoken Goodbyes by Reckless Kelly
Lyrics
Where'd we leave off
Reflecting on the previous situation
Oh that's right We were standing by the gate
Recalling standing by the gate
out in the pouring rain
Describing being in the pouring rain
When I took off we realized
Realizing the possibility of not meeting again
we might not see each other again
Expressing the uncertainty of future encounters
No one had to say it
Implicit understanding without verbal communication
it was written on our faces
Non-verbal communication revealing emotions
it was plain as day
Obvious and clear situation
she never said a word
Not expressing feelings verbally
she just slowly walked away
Departing without saying anything
Irish Goodbye
Referring to a departure without farewell
Irish Goodbye
Repeating the concept of an abrupt departure
Don't say good night
Advising against saying goodbye
just turn out the light
Suggesting a quiet departure
Irish goodbye
Reiterating the idea of an unexpected departure
Here we go again
Starting a new relationship with uncertainty
another love gone wrong
Describing a love that ended poorly
another long and lonesome ride back home
Long and lonely journey back home
I wonder if she cares
Questioning if the other person cares about the departure
which direction I'll being going in or that I'm even gone
Wondering about the other person's awareness
Is there a candle in a window I should look for
Speculating about a signal to look for
And she's hoping I might see the light
Hoping for recognition through a visible sign
And though there's darkness all around me
Despite darkness, maintaining faith during the journey
now my faith is strong as a travel on into the night
Confidence in faith while moving forward in darkness
Irish Goodbye
Reiteration of an abrupt departure with Irish Goodbye
Irish Goodbye
Repeating the concept of an unexpected departure
Don't say goodnight
Advising against saying goodbye
just turn out the lights
Suggesting a quiet departure
Irish goodbye
Reiterating the idea of an unexpected departure
