Once We Knew
Eternal Seasons: Embracing Love Amid Nature's Changes
Lyrics
Once I held her trembling in the Colorado dawn
The speaker recalls a moment when they held someone who was trembling during a dawn in Colorado.
Once all shrouded in grey
At one point, everything seemed covered or enveloped in a dull, gloomy atmosphere.
Once we strained to see through her lonely veil
The speaker and others made an effort to understand or see beyond someone's apparent loneliness.
Once we hoped she'd lift someday
There was hope that this person's emotional state would improve or brighten at some point.
Once I watched her cover all her flowers
They witnessed this person (referred to metaphorically as 'her') concealing or protecting their emotions.
Once I felt her soak into my bones
The emotions or essence of 'her' deeply affected the speaker.
Once I heard her cold staccato above us
They heard the stark, abrupt sounds made by 'her' above them, possibly representing an indifferent or harsh nature.
Once I knew I'd never be alone
The speaker felt assured that they would never feel lonely in this situation.
My weary eyes fell on you there
The speaker's tired eyes noticed the presence of another person.
Winter's diamonds in your hair
Symbolically referring to the person's hair adorned with wintry elements like diamonds.
Melt away, the seasons past
Memories of the past seasons fade away.
Once, we knew would never last
They were aware that what they once knew or experienced was temporary.
Once in shelter dreams were long forgotten
At a certain point, dreams of finding refuge were forgotten.
Once we traced each curve down to the ground
They explored or followed every detail, possibly referring to understanding each other deeply.
Once we felt her roaring just outside
They experienced a powerful force (nature) very close to them.
Once I held it all in these arms
The speaker held everything in their arms at some point.
Through it all, you were still there
Throughout the challenges, the person addressed in the song remained present.
Winter's diamonds in your hair
A repetition referring to wintry elements in the person's hair.
Melt away, the seasons past
The passing of time diminishes the impact of previous seasons and experiences.
Once, we knew would never last
They were aware that what they once understood or had wouldn't endure.
Once I held the springtime in a plastic cup
The speaker once contained the essence or spirit of springtime in a confined space.
Once we drank the brightest mountain dawn
They experienced and embraced a vibrant, bright start to a day in the mountains.
Once I waited beside you on that railway
The speaker waited alongside another person on a railway, possibly indicating a shared journey or experience.
Once I had the strength to carry on
There was a time when the speaker had the strength to continue despite challenges.
