Lyrics
My child, my fleeting hour has come
Addressing the passing of time and acknowledging its brevity
There's no mercy for me, no pardon
Expressing a lack of forgiveness or reprieve
Close my eyes, I know you're overcome
Recognizing the emotional overwhelm in closing one's eyes
And I have failed to guard you
Admitting failure in protecting someone important
Over mountains, through the meadows
Describing a journey across landscapes
You travelled far from home
Detailing the far-reaching travels away from home
By the hand of your father
Highlighting the absence of a guiding figure
I'm left, abandoned, alone
Expressing feelings of abandonment and isolation
Hear my voice, remember who cradled you
Pleading for remembrance of the nurturing relationship
Who loved you and swore to guide you
Recalling a promise of love and guidance
Through the darkest hours of your life
Emphasizing support during the most challenging times
Return to me, if only tonight
Yearning for a return, even if only for a brief moment
My child, let your kisses console my heart
Seeking comfort in memories and affection
Revive me with your smile
Desiring revival through a loved one's joy
All is gone now, now all is lost
Expressing a sense of total loss and emptiness
Hear me plead for one last goodbye
Begging for a final opportunity to say goodbye
Over mountains, through the meadows
Reiterating the journey away from home
He carried you far from home
Reinforcing the distance traveled by someone else's guidance
By his hand, the hand of your father
Emphasizing the involvement of the absent father figure
We're left, abandoned, alone
Expressing shared feelings of abandonment and isolation
Hear my voice, remember who cradled you
Repeating the plea for recollection of nurturing care
Who loved you and swore to guide you
Reaffirming the depth of love and commitment
Through the darkest hours of your life
Highlighting support during the most challenging times
Return to me, if only tonight
Repetition of the desire for a return, even if momentary
Hear my voice, remember who cradled you
Repeated plea for recollection of nurturing care
Who loved you and swore to guide you
Reiterating the depth of love and commitment
Through the darkest hours of your life
Emphasizing support during the most challenging times
Return to me, my child let us reunite
An earnest plea for reunion and reconciliation
