Tears Falling Down
Whispers of Unseen Pain: Rosanne Cash's Emotional JourneyLyrics
It's the ghost of a dream
It symbolizes an unrealized aspiration or desire.
That awakens me in the night
The dream resurfaces during the night, suggesting vulnerability.
When no ones around
Loneliness is felt when there's no one present.
But I don't hear the sound
Despite the emotional experience, the crying is silent.
Of those tears falling down
Reference to the unnoticed tears that are being shed.
And its the breath of a kiss
Describes the impact of a tender kiss and affection.
And so much tenderness
Expresses the depth of love and care.
That drives my knees to the ground
Intense emotions that bring the person to their knees.
But we don't hear the sound
Contrasts the intense feelings with the silent tears.
Of those tears falling down
Reiterates the unnoticed nature of the tears.
There's a river that won't forget
Nature metaphorically remembers past experiences.
And a wind that gives us breath
The enduring force of life and vitality.
But in the cradle of our fears
In the midst of fears, emotions are suppressed.
We sleep without tears
People sleep without expressing their deep emotions.
And it's your eyes close to mine
The proximity of the eyes brings illumination.
That lets in the light
Symbolizes the revelation of where love exists.
That shows me where love can be found
Despite the revelation, the tears remain unheard.
But I don't hear the sound
Reiterates the silence surrounding the falling tears.
Of those tears falling down
Final emphasis on the unnoticed nature of the tears.
