Lyrics
Walking through dust, six miles from Greeley
Reflecting on a journey, possibly a difficult one, six miles from Greeley.
Oh, I've been too long down this lonesome track
Expressing a sense of being on a challenging path for too long.
I lost the trust you gave so freely
Acknowledging the loss of trust that was freely given.
I took the money and never looked back
Admitting to taking money and not looking back.
I arrived without warning
Arriving unexpectedly.
And I was gone in the morning
Departing without warning.
Forgive me my sins, abide me my faults
Seeking forgiveness for sins and acceptance of faults.
Just give me this one last New Year's Waltz
Pleading for the chance to share one last New Year's Waltz.
You were the one, well versed in leaving
Describing the partner as someone skilled in leaving.
Searching for someone strong enough to stay
Searching for a strong and enduring connection.
I kept on talking, cause you wanted to believe
Continuing to speak to maintain hope in a promised future.
In the future I promised we'd share someday
Promising a shared future someday.
But I arrived without warning
Repeating the sudden arrival and departure.
And I was gone in the morning
Reiterating the abrupt departure in the morning.
Forgive me my sins, abide me my faults
Requesting forgiveness and acceptance of faults.
Just give me this one last New Year's Waltz
Pleading for one last New Year's Waltz.
I left from Tucson and headed to Reno
Narrating a journey from Tucson to Reno with good intentions.
Rode through the night with the best of intent
Traveling through the night with positive motives.
I had a plan to beat the casino
Having a plan to beat the casino, implying a gamble.
I bet you can guess how that story went
Suggesting the outcome of the casino plan didn't go well.
I couldn't go on and take anymore
Expressing an inability to endure any longer.
I was blinded by darkness from ducking the light
Feeling blinded by darkness, possibly avoiding facing reality.
You wanna know why I came back to your door
Explaining the reason for returning is the partner's kindness.
'Cause you're the only kindness I've known in this life
Acknowledging the partner as the only kindness known in life.
But I arrived without warning
Repeating the pattern of arriving without warning.
And I will be gone in the morning
Anticipating departure in the morning.
Forgive me my sins, abide me my faults
Seeking forgiveness and understanding of faults once again.
Just give me this one last New Year's waltz
Asking for one last New Year's Waltz.
Nobody hurts if nobody talks
Emphasizing that no one gets hurt if there is silence.
So give me this one last New Year's waltz
Requesting one last New Year's Waltz in the absence of communication.
Said give me this one last New Year's waltz
Repeating the plea for a final New Year's Waltz.
