Broken Roses
Journey through Broken Roses: A Mountain's Whispers
Lyrics
On my way to Ascutney
Embarking on a journey to Ascutney.
The way the river goes
Describing the path of the river.
Gonna let the green mountains hide me
Intending to be concealed by the green mountains.
Where only the night knows
Seeking solitude known only to the night.
If you walk on broken roses
Metaphorically walking on difficulties or challenges.
And you feel it in hair
Sensory experience, feeling something in the hair.
If you measure time in miles
Using distance as a measure of time.
You can join me there
Inviting others to join in the journey.
The last time I was here
Recalling a previous visit with snow on the ground.
There was snow on the ground
Highlighting a specific moment in the past.
And I'd never been so clear
Expressing clarity without mental distractions.
Without thought it a sound
Experiencing a moment without thinking or noise.
If you walk on broken roses
Reiteration of facing challenges symbolized by broken roses.
And you feel it in you toes
Sensing challenges in a physical way, in the toes.
If you measure time in miles
Reiterating the use of distance as a measure of time.
You already know
Addressing those who are already familiar with this journey.
There up in a cabin there
Describing a cabin located at the end of a road.
At the end of a road
Specifying a location in relation to the journey.
Someone's waiting on me to
Indicating someone is eagerly waiting for the return home.
Make it back home
Emphasizing the concept of returning to a place called home.
She keeps the lights on
Symbolizing the anticipation with keeping lights on.
And I keep trying to make whole
The speaker trying to restore completeness.
And when I get lost she sings
Highlighting support through singing during moments of confusion.
If you walk on broken roses
Reiteration of facing challenges symbolized by broken roses.
And you feel it in you toes
Sensory experience, feeling challenges in the toes.
If you measure time in miles
Emphasizing the use of distance as a measure of time.
You already know
Addressing those who are already familiar with this journey.
