I'm Coming Home
Journey Home: Embracing Change and Memories
Lyrics
I'm coming home
Expressing the intention to return home.
A long old road
Referring to a lengthy journey or difficult path.
I'm walking by the river
Describing a contemplative walk alongside a river.
And I'm all alone
Conveying a sense of solitude during the journey.
The old days are gone
Acknowledging the passage of time and change.
The old ways too
Noting the abandonment of old traditions or methods.
The old folks are long away
Highlighting the absence of older generations.
But the sky's still blue
Contrasting the changes with a persistent sense of hope.
All my friends
Indicating the dispersion of friends over a wide area.
Are scattered far and wide
Emphasizing the distance between friends.
Some lost for ever
Suggesting permanent loss among some friends.
Through time and tide
Attributing the losses to the passage of time and unpredictable events.
For all the money you might earn
Highlighting the limited value of material wealth.
The wisdom that you learn
Emphasizing the enduring importance of acquired wisdom.
The black crow still waits
Symbolizing the persistence of challenges or hardships.
For your return
Conveying the anticipation of a welcome or reunion.
The river waits for no-one
Stating the inevitability of the river's flow, akin to the passage of time.
And the clouds slowly roll
Depicting the gradual movement of clouds, symbolizing change.
The flowers bloom in spring
Noting the cyclical nature of life, represented by blooming flowers in spring.
Wherever you might go
Emphasizing the universality of experiences, regardless of location.
All my days now lead me
Describing a reflective phase of life, possibly in the autumn years.
Past leaves gold and brown
Depicting a journey through the changing seasons and stages of life.
Back to the old house
Returning to a place of familiarity and comfort.
To lay my head down
Expressing the desire to rest or find solace in the familiar setting.
I'm coming home
Reiteration of the intention to come back home.
A long old road
Reaffirming the challenging nature of the journey.
I'm walking by the river
Repeating the imagery of a contemplative walk by the river.
And I'm all alone
Reiterating the sense of solitude during the return journey.
