They Are Gone
Echoes of Departure: A Poetic Reflection on Loss and Love
Lyrics
The moments turn to hours
The passing moments transform into extended periods of time.
And the hours turn to days
Days progress as hours accumulate.
And I've seen so many lost ones pass away
The singer has witnessed the departure of many individuals who are now deceased.
And they're gone
Refers to the departed individuals.
Yes, they're gone
Emphasizes the finality of their departure.
They are gone to stay
Indicates that those who have passed away are gone permanently.
The hill sides are so lovely
Describes the beauty of the hillsides during spring.
In their springtime fine array
Specifically mentions the attractiveness of the hillsides in spring.
But I've seen too many flowers fade away
Despite the beauty, the singer has observed the fading of numerous flowers.
And they're gone
Reiteration of the departure of individuals.
Yes, they're gone
Reiterates the permanence of their departure.
They are gone to stay
Reiterates that those who have passed away are gone for good.
The lovers pass by my window
People in love pass by the singer's window.
Never caring if they stray
They seem indifferent to potential straying from their path.
But I've seen so many lovers lose their way
The singer has observed many lovers losing their way.
And they're gone
Reiteration of the departure, this time referring to lovers.
Yes, they're gone
Reiterates the finality of the lovers' departure.
They are gone to stay
Confirms that the departure of lovers is permanent.
They are gone to stay
Repeats the assertion that both groups are gone to stay.
