Nathan Jones
Longing Echoes: Nathan Jones' Departure and Unfulfilled Tears
Lyrics
You packed your bags as I recall
You left, recalling the moment you packed your bags
And you walked slowly down the hall
You departed slowly, walking down the hallway
You said you had to get away to ease your mind
You explained the need to escape for peace of mind
And all you needed was a just little of time
You only required a bit of time
Oh winter's passed, spring and fall
Time has passed through winter, spring, and fall
You never wrote me, you never called
No communication occurred, no messages or calls
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Nathan Jones, an address to someone who's been absent for too long
Gone too long
Reiteration of being gone too long
If a woman could die of tears
If tears could cause death in a woman, it might have happened
Nathan Jones, well, I wouldn't be here
If Nathan Jones hadn't left, the speaker wouldn't be in this situation
The key that you're holding won't fit my door
The key he possesses doesn't fit the speaker's door
And there's no room in my heart for you no more
No emotional space left in the speaker's heart for Nathan Jones
'Cause, winter's passed, spring and fall
Reiteration of time passing through seasons with no contact
you never wrote me, you never called
No messages or calls received from Nathan Jones
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Reiteration of Nathan Jones being gone for too long
Gone too long
Reiteration of the extended absence of Nathan Jones
Nathan Jones, Nathan Jones
Calling out Nathan Jones by name
Nathan Jones, oh
Repeating Nathan Jones with emphasis
Winter's passed, spring and fall
Reiteration of time passing through seasons without communication
You never wrote me, you never called
No messages or calls received despite the changing seasons
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Emphasizing Nathan Jones being away for too long
Gone too long
Reiteration of Nathan Jones' prolonged absence
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Directly addressing Nathan Jones about the extended absence
Gone too long
Reiteration of Nathan Jones being gone for an extended period
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Continued emphasis on Nathan Jones' prolonged absence
Gone too long
Repetition of Nathan Jones being gone for too long
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Another repetition of Nathan Jones' extended absence
Gone too long
Final emphasis on Nathan Jones' prolonged absence
