In Your Garden Still
Navigating Shadows: In Your Garden Still's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
And the stage grew dimmer
The brightness on the stage diminishes
For the angel band
Referencing a group of heavenly musicians
And the harp goes missing
The harp, a symbol of peace or serenity, is absent
From between their hands
The musicians' connection to tranquility is broken
Quietly, we walk with a feeling of loss
Walking while feeling a sense of something missing or lost
It's getting darker, I know
Expressing the darkening of the situation
But I will walk with you 'til the night falls away
Commitment to accompany someone despite impending darkness
And through the sorrow we go
Navigating through sorrow together
Oh, I know you see it coming
Awareness of an approaching event or change
We were always running
Constantly being in motion or pursuit
We were always there
Consistent presence in certain situations
With our friends and lovers
Together with friends and partners
Did we speak of fear?
Did they openly acknowledge their fears?
And quietly we sing through the hours we're cold
Singing softly during difficult times
Keeps getting harder, I know
Continuing difficulty in the situation
But I will sing with you 'til the night falls away
Commitment to sing despite encroaching darkness
And through the darkness we go
Navigating through darkness together
Oh, I know you see it coming
Anticipation of an impending event or change
In a city drifting
Describing a city adrift and unsettled
Down a nervous stream
Metaphorically, a city moving uncertainly
And the engine's hanging
The machinery supporting aspirations
Onto beat up dreams
Struggling to support worn-out dreams
And a tower so loud we believe in it all
Belief in something significant despite doubts
But we feel that the bell ain't gold
Despite belief, realization of the lacking value
And there's still hunger, you know
Recognition of persistent desires or needs
And leave it to the past as the night falls away
Letting go of the past as darkness falls
And from the darkness we go
Moving forward from the darkness
Oh, I know you see it coming
Awareness of an impending event or change
I have a tired will
Experiencing fatigue but maintaining clarity
But clear enough
Having the strength to appreciate pleasantness
To let sweetness in
Allowing oneself to experience joy
To see your joy
Recognizing someone else's happiness
That is the light at the end of the world
That joy represents hope in difficult times
And the band is somewhere
The band still resides in a tranquil space
In your garden still
The band remains in a familiar, peaceful place
If we ever have been there
Implies a constant connection or return to this place
Then we always will
Permanence of connection to that serene setting
And quietly we talk through the hours, we're far
Conversations in distance and difficulty
Keeps getting harder I know
Persistence despite escalating challenges
But I will stay with you 'til the night falls away
Commitment to stay through the night's challenges
And through the darkness we go
Enduring hardships together in the dark
Oh, I know you see it coming
Awareness of an impending event or change
