Early Morning Rain
Wandering Through Early Morning Rain: A Soul's Journey
Lyrics
In the early mornin' rain
In the early morning, experiencing rain
With a dollar in my hand
Carrying a dollar, perhaps symbolizing limited resources
cnd an aching in my heart
Feeling emotional pain or distress
cnd my pockets full of sand
Metaphorically, having nothing of value in pockets
I'm a long ways from home
Far from home, feeling the distance
cnd I missed my loved one so
Longing for a loved one, feeling their absence intensely
In the early mornin' rain
Still in the early morning rain, feeling stranded
With no place to go
Without a destination or plan
Out on runway number nine
Observing a plane on runway number nine, about to depart
Big 707 set to go
Specifically, a Boeing 707 aircraft ready for takeoff
Well I'm out here on the grass
Being in a place where life seems barren or unfruitful
Where the pavement never grows
Metaphorically, in a stagnant or unprogressive situation
Where the liquor tasted good
Enjoying vices like alcohol in this desolate place
cnd the women all were fast
Characterizing the women as fast or promiscuous
There she goes my friend
Referring to the departing aircraft, possibly a friend
She's rolling out at last
Witnessing the departure of the plane
Hear the mighty engines roar
Hearing the loud sound of plane engines
See the silver wing on high
Seeing the plane's metallic wings high in the sky
She's away and westward bound
It's flying away towards the west
For above the clouds she flies
Describing the plane's elevation above clouds
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
Imagining a place without rain or sadness
cnd the sun always shines
Where it's always sunny, a contrast to the current situation
She'll be flying over my home
Realizing the plane will fly over their home soon
In about three hours time
Estimating the time left for the plane to reach home
This ol' airport's got me down
Feeling discontent with the airport and its limitations
It's no earthly good to me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current circumstances
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
Feeling stuck and helpless on the ground
Cold and drunk as I might be
Describing a state of being cold and intoxicated
Can't jump a jet plane
Recognizing the impossibility of hitching a ride on a jet
Like you can a freight train
Comparing the impossibility of boarding a plane to a train
So I best be on my way
Deciding to leave, accepting the reality of the situation
In the early mornin' rain
Reiterating the intention to depart in the early morning rain
So I best be on my way
Repeating the resolution to leave in adverse weather
In the early mornin' rain
Emphasizing the urgency to depart despite the rain
So I best be on my way
Reaffirming the decision to leave despite the weather conditions
In the early mornin' rain
Stressing the necessity to leave in the early morning rain
