Old Church Hymns and Nursery Rhymes
Whispers of Time: Waylon Jennings' Musical Tapestry
Lyrics
Blow on you restless wind up to your old tricks again
Restless wind symbolizes unpredictable or troublesome situations returning.
Bear down you Texas sun you make the desserts dry and the brush fires run
Texas sun intensifies hardships, making landscapes dry and prone to fires.
Splintered wood rusty chains this old front porch swing remains
Front porch swing represents enduring elements amidst decay (splintered wood, rusty chains).
A pendelum of memories goes back and forth on a summer breeze
Pendulum of memories suggests fluctuating recollections carried by a summer breeze.
Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes
Recalling the past through singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes.
From the days way back before my time
Referencing an era before the speaker's time, emphasizing nostalgia.
With a little child upon my knee singing every sweet word back to me
Childhood memories of a child on the speaker's knee singing sweet words.
Look how far I had to come to get back where I started from
Reflection on the journey, acknowledging the distance traveled to return.
With a child's wisdom passing time
Childhood wisdom gained over time, marking the speaker's growth.
Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes
Continuation of nostalgia through singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes.
I've run the race I've walked the wire I paid the price of my desire
Expressing a life journey with challenges and sacrifices.
And the only time I've known it all is just before I took a fall
Insight gained just before a setback or failure.
So howl you lone coyote song fade to sapphire sky of dawn
Symbolic howling coyote song, transitioning to a tranquil dawn sky.
Count me in the lucky men to send the world around again
Considering oneself lucky to witness cycles in the world again.
Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes...
Reiteration of the comforting act of singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes.
