Texas Rain
Chasing Memories in Texas Rain
Lyrics
I took a walk in the Texas rain
I embarked on a stroll in the Texas rain
Down Brenfield Lane
Along Brenfield Lane
Just to see what I could find
To explore what I might discover
Memories flood like a crowded train
Recollections overwhelm like a crowded train
Where the tracks remain
Where the railway tracks persist
But the people all have changed
Yet the people have all undergone changes
They say
They express
“Oh my, gotta keep movin' on
Expressing a need to continue moving forward despite challenges
Oh my my, gotta keep movin' on
-Oh my, gotta keep movin' on
-Gotta keep movin'
-Gotta keep movin' on”
-On Fifth and Main there's a big parade
On Fifth and Main, a significant procession occurs
Where the children play
Where children engage in play
And take their youth for granted
Taking their youth for granted
The people pass and the very last
People pass by, and the very last
Stood on stilts with their stove-top hats
Stood on stilts with stove-top hats
They sang
They sing
“Oh my, gotta keep movin' on
Reiteration of the imperative to keep moving forward
Oh my my, gotta keep movin' on
-Oh my, gotta keep movin' on
-Gotta keep movin'
-Gotta keep movin' on”
-Why not take me?
Reflection on the longing for connection and the desire to be saved from loneliness
You could save me
-Why not take me?
-What is this that makes us feel alone?
-What is this that makes us feel alone?
-What is this that makes us feel alone?
-You could save me
-I begin to run through the Texas rain
I commence running through the Texas rain
I try to catch that train
Attempting to catch a train
But I can't forget you
Yet unable to forget you
And I'm too old for a slow parade
Feeling too mature for a slow parade
I think it's time to go my own way
Deciding it's time to pursue my own path
Oh my, gotta keep movin' on
Reiteration of the imperative to keep moving forward
Oh my my, gotta keep movin' on
-Oh my, gotta keep movin' on
-Gotta keep movin'
-Gotta keep movin' on
-Oh my, gotta keep movin' on
Continued emphasis on the necessity to keep progressing
Oh my my, gotta keep movin' on
-Oh my, gotta keep movin' on
-Gotta keep movin'
-Gotta keep movin' on
