Hey, where did we go?

Down in the hollow

Playin' a new game

Laughing and a running hey, hey
Portraying joyful moments of laughter, running, and fun.
Skipping and a jumping
Depicting carefree actions like skipping and jumping.
In the misty morning fog with
Setting the scene with misty morning fog and heightened emotions.
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
Describing the physical response of hearts beating strongly.
My brown-eyed girl

You, my brown-eyed girl
Reaffirming the identity of the beloved as a brown-eyed girl.
Whatever happened
Reflecting on the passage of time and the fading of specific days.
To Tuesday and so slow?
Pondering the disappearance of a specific day (Tuesday).
Going down the old mine
Recalling a nostalgic image of going down an old mine with a radio.
With a transistor radio
Describing a carefree moment standing in sunlight with laughter.
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Emphasizing a joyful experience hidden behind a metaphorical rainbow.
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Depicting a playful and carefree journey along a waterfall.
Slipping and sliding

All along the waterfall, with you

So hard to find my way
Expressing difficulty in finding direction after being alone.
