John & Mary
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
She walked away with the ring in her hand
2
The back door open, scattered coins on her night stand
3
The room around her so silent and still
4
The echoes of the voices lingered from a time
5
When so long ago and far away
6
How sweet the fiddle bow did play
7
The smiles around the table as they talked intimately
8
When she would leave them her children alone
9
Their cries and protests made her want to stay back home
10
In isolation she worked into night
11
Her hands all calloused from the twisted vines she'd fight
12
Then she'd think of times so long ago
13
The dinner embers still aglow
14
The smiles around the table as they talked intimately
15
The window was open
16
The daughter was pale
17
The steam pipes were broken and her hand
18
Froze to the rail
19
When so long ago and far away
20
How sweet the fiddle bow did play
21
The smiles around the table as they talked intimately
22
The grief lay all around her
23
No food, heat, just war
24
She looked in the tarnished mirror, her glowing eyes
25
Traveled to a place
26
Where they would drink and dance on dusty florid days
27
The little boy sat and polished his shoes
28
He'd rub them with a cloth so shined he couldn't lose
29
A small green vase for his mom he wished to win
30
To bring the life back to the face that'd always been
31
Full of love and life a sparkle lay
32
A mother's tear to make her stay
33
The sky grew dark, the rain clouds pour
34
She wouldn't see her anymore
35
So long ago and far away, how sweet the fiddle bow did play
36
The smiles around the table as they talked intimately
37
The window was open
38
The daughter was pale
39
The steam pipes were broken and her hand
40
Froze to the rail.
