So Long Savior
Farewell Reverie: Tedeschi Trucks Band's Journey Beyond Salvation
Lyrics
So long savior
Farewell, savior
I'll be right behind
I will follow shortly
Reaching for his garment
Reaching for the symbolic clothing of the savior
Left us here to cry
The savior has departed, leaving us in sorrow
Should have seen it coming
Predictable events were overlooked
Fire in the sky
An ominous sign, possibly a disaster
Oh, water's all around us
Surrounded by water, reminiscent of a flood
No room on the ark this time
No space on the ark, implying exclusion or abandonment
Sail on savior
Continue on, savior
Where have you gone?
Where have you disappeared to?
All the way to glory
Heading towards glory, as heard in a song
Heard that in a song
A reference to a heard song emphasizing the journey to glory
We all know the reason
A shared understanding of the reason for being left behind
We've been left behind
We are abandoned or overlooked
Oh, head on home to heaven
Yearning for a return home to heaven
Hope I get to see you sometime
Expressing hope to reunite with the savior eventually
Cheer up children
Take heart, children
All my seeds are sown
All my efforts and contributions are invested
Climbing up the ladder
Ascending in life despite facing personal challenges
Got problems of my own
Despite personal problems, acknowledging the struggles of others
After change of season
After a period of change, a sense of foreboding
A chill is in the air
An unsettling atmosphere as winter approaches
When it's time to cross the river (time to cross the river)
When faced with a crucial decision (crossing the river)
Better pay your fare
Be prepared to pay the price for your choices
If I don't see you there
If we don't meet in the afterlife
Try to get it right next time
Striving to improve in future opportunities
