Lyrics
He saw her drift away and going
He witnessed her drifting away and departing
Saw her footprints on the sand
Noticed her footprints left behind in the sand
He had heard about this story
He was familiar with the narrative
But could have not foreseen its end
Could not have anticipated its conclusion
She couldn't breathe, she couldn't feel him
She experienced difficulty breathing and feeling his presence
Could not see that Promised Land
Unable to perceive the Promised Land
The sweet hot summer had turn sour
The once enjoyable summer turned unpleasant
A cold wind blew from hell
A cold wind, possibly metaphorical, blew from a negative place
Circled news, fateful cries
Reports circulated, and cries of fate were heard
April tears fell from their eyes
Tears resembling those of April fell from their eyes
The gift of love was wrapped in pain
The love they shared came with the price of pain
Dark clouds turned to rain
Dark clouds transformed into rain, suggesting emotional turmoil
She saw him walking on the highway
She observed him walking along the highway
She watched him take the turn and fade
Witnessed him turning and disappearing
She had been told that road was bumpy
Had been informed about the challenges of that road
Still she could not avoid the rail
Despite the warnings, she couldn't avoid the inevitable collision
He couldn't see their paths were crossing
He remained unaware that their paths were intersecting
Did not feel dust in the air
Failed to sense the dust in the air
The once blues skies were now pale yellow
The once blue skies turned pale yellow, indicating a change
As whips of lighting shared their glare
Flashes of lightning illuminated the transformed atmosphere
Circled news, fateful cries
Reports circulated, and cries of fate were heard again
April tears fell from their eyes
Tears similar to those of April continued to fall
The gift of love was wrapped in pain
The love they shared remained entwined with pain
Dark clouds turned to rain
Dark clouds persisted, symbolizing ongoing emotional challenges
Circled news, fateful cries
Once again, reports circulated, and cries of fate were heard
April tears fell from their eyes
Tears reminiscent of April continued to flow
The gift of love was wrapped in pain
The love they possessed continued to be accompanied by pain
Dark clouds turned to rain
Dark clouds persisted, and the turmoil manifested as rain
