Embers
Lost Journeys: Embers of Dreams and Ghost Trains
Lyrics
Oh lord, there's a ghost train running through my head
There is a persistent, haunting thought or memory in my mind.
Every night I her it serenade the sunset
Every night, I hear a train-like sound that accompanies the setting sun.
Oh lord, there's a deep blue ocean in my dreams
In my dreams, there is a vast and profound blue ocean.
Calling to me from behind the veil of sleep
This ocean in my dreams is calling to me, shrouded behind the veil of sleep.
I'm afraid I've lost my way
I feel a sense of being lost and disoriented.
Afraid I've lost my way
This feeling of being lost persists.
I set out like a scout
I embarked on a journey like a scout or explorer.
But I've run out
However, I have exhausted my resources or energy.
Oh lord, there's a beach tree where I find my shade
A specific beach tree holds significance, perhaps associated with a breakdown.
I remember breaking down beneath it's sway
I recall a moment of vulnerability or crisis beneath the sway of this beach tree.
Oh lord, there's a cascade mountain in my dreams
In my dreams, there is a majestic cascade mountain.
Calling to me from behind the fog of sleep
This mountain calls out to me, obscured by the fog of sleep.
And It's always out of reach
Despite efforts, the object of desire or goal remains elusive.
It's always out of reach
This elusive goal consistently stays out of reach.
I set out like a scout
Similar to before, I set out on a mission like a scout or explorer.
But I've run out
Yet again, I find myself depleted or lacking resources.
