Lyrics
They dimmed the lights
Symbolic gesture indicating a somber or respectful occasion
On Broadway tonight
Referring to a prominent location, setting the scene for the tribute
For you
A gesture directed specifically to the deceased
Kentucky Blue
Reference to the state of Kentucky, likely symbolizing a peaceful afterlife
Everyone I know is writing eulogies
People close to the deceased are composing speeches or writings of respect
And truths about you
Conveying honest sentiments or facts about the departed individual
Playbooks and bills won't be the same
The absence of the departed affects routines or habits in daily life
Without you
Highlighting the significance of the departed person's presence in certain activities
Gone too soon
Expressing a feeling of premature departure
Kentucky Blue
Referencing the peaceful state where the spirit of the departed has transcended
Is where your spirit flew
Describing the destination of the departed spirit
You and your crescent moon
Symbolic reference to a distinct personal trait or symbol associated with the departed
Typewriter tappin'
Depicts the act of writing, possibly memories or tributes
Black barns on the hill
Visual imagery of rural landscapes
Women in the garden
Symbolic representation of people affected by the departure
You've fallen still
Describing a state of stillness or cessation related to the departed
Bullfrogs croaking
Nature's sounds that continue despite the absence of the departed
Fireflies burning
Natural phenomenon suggesting continuity even after the departure
The rain is fallen
Symbolic of sadness or mourning
Your breath has softened
Symbolizes the easing or quieting of the departed's presence
The painted desert cries
Metaphorical reference to the landscape expressing sorrow
It's colors whine
Indication of the emotional pain reflected in the scenery
Man of the road
Characterization of the departed as a wanderer or traveler
You've disappeared
Indicates the departed's absence or departure
Kentucky Blue
Reiteration of the tranquil afterlife, where the spirit now resides
Is where your spirit flew
Repeating the depiction of the departed's serene state
You and your crescent moon
Reiteration of a personal characteristic or symbol associated with the departed
Kentucky Blue
Emphasizing the tranquil destination of the departed
You gone and flew
Expressing the departure of the departed
Could not wait
Implying the inevitability of the departure
We'll miss you
Expressing sentiments of missing the departed
So I drove through
Describing a journey taken in honor or memory of the departed
As if to say
Symbolic gesture of gratitude or acknowledgment to the departed
Thank you
Reiteration of gratitude or acknowledgment directed towards the departed
Ol' Kentucky Blue
Repetition of the tranquil state where the departed now rests
They dimmed the lights
Repetition of the symbolic gesture indicating a somber or respectful occasion
On Broadway tonight
Repetition of the prominent location where the tribute is being paid
For you
A final gesture of respect and tribute towards the departed
