John Hiatt – Thirty Years of Tears Lyrics 11 years ago
When I first heard this song I thought it was Bob Dylan. "Tears of the past" is an interesting concept.

Līve – The Dam At Otter Creek Lyrics 14 years ago
Your analysis made me think about this line:

We took him three and three
In a stretcher made from trees

I believe "3 and 3" would refer to the typical configuration of pall bearers and "a stretcher made from trees" a coffin. Pretty sure that is the "surface level" meaning. As for the analogy, I'll leave that to the smart people.
