Patty's Solitude: A Tale of Fading Memories
Lyrics
Patty lives up in the attic now
Patty now resides in the attic.
Her feet rarely touching the ground
Patty rarely comes down, symbolizing isolation.
Haunted by waltzes with Harry
Patty is haunted by memories of waltzing with Harry.
Harry's hat hanging here in the hall
Harry's hat is a tangible reminder of his absence.
Memories fading for patty now
Patty's memories are fading, adding to her solitude.
There's nothing and no one to trust
Patty feels a lack of trust in anything or anyone.
Just the tick and the tock
Only the sound of the clock ticking and tocking remains.
Of the damnable clock
The clock symbolizes the relentless passage of time.
As the world that she does turns to dust
Patty's world is disintegrating and turning to dust.
Patty stays up in her attic now
Patty continues to stay in isolation in the attic.
In silence except for the sound
Patty's solitude is accompanied only by the sound of the clock.
Of the tick and the tock
The clock's ticking symbolizes the passage of time.
Of the damnable clock
The clock remains a damnable reminder of time's inevitability.
While the world that she knows disappears
Patty's familiar world is disappearing.
Drinking in riddles
Patty copes by drinking in riddles, perhaps seeking escape.
Waving to trains
She waves to trains, a gesture with uncertain significance.
Waving to trains that no longer run
She waves to trains that have ceased to run, a futile act.
Thinking in riddles
Patty engages in perplexing thoughts, possibly reflecting confusion.
And waving to trains
She continues waving to trains, a repetitive and futile action.
Waving to trains that no longer run
She waves to trains that no longer run, emphasizing loss.
