Drovers
Journey Through Solitude: Tom Jenkins' Reflections on Love and Redemption
Lyrics
The beaten path to the waterfall
The path that has been frequently traveled to reach the waterfall.
the one that takes you right behind it
This path leads directly behind the waterfall.
fragile thoughts that the journey cracks
The delicate thoughts and emotions are affected by the challenges of the journey.
when we get lost, we'll follow the river back
When lost, the intention is to retrace the steps by following the river.
loneliness I know, happiness I show
Experiencing loneliness internally while projecting happiness externally.
It goes on and on
The cycle of emotions and experiences continues indefinitely.
I've been thinking about getting sober
Contemplation about abstaining from something, possibly related to personal challenges.
I've been thinking about getting over you
Reflecting on the desire to move on from a past relationship.
I've been thinking about turning over
Considering a change or transformation in life.
it's just a sign of the times, just a sign of the times
Acknowledging that certain experiences are indicative of the current era.
Single file on a country mile,
Walking in a line along a vast distance in the countryside.
we leave our fate left unspoken
Choosing not to verbalize or disclose the destined outcomes.
Follow skies onto pastures new
Following the skies to explore new possibilities.
I'm a drover now, my thoughts are where i carry you
Identifying as a "drover," with thoughts carrying the weight of someone important.
loneliness I know, happiness I show
Similar to Line #5, experiencing internal loneliness while outwardly displaying happiness.
It goes on and on
Emphasizing the perpetual nature of the emotional journey.
I've been thinking about getting sober
Reiterating the contemplation of sobriety, possibly metaphorical or literal.
I've been thinking about getting over you
Continued reflection on moving past a previous romantic connection.
I've been thinking about turning over
Continuing to contemplate a significant change in life.
it's just a sign of the times, just a sign of the times
Reiterating that experiences reflect the current era.
I've become a danger to myself, you know it's like that ,
Acknowledging a potential self-destructive tendency and its recognition.
You know I'm like that, come on baby
Encouraging or inviting someone to accept this aspect of the speaker's personality.
I've been breaking hearts and breaking bones, you know it's
Acknowledging a history of causing emotional pain and physical harm.
like that
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a destructive tendency.
You know I'm like that, come on baby
Encouraging acceptance of the speaker's disposition.
