Walking For Two Hours Lyrics
Why do they come when you're always raining?
Why can't they make a sound?
And seeing the other ones fall back down.
Because you're so far from home,
And you're wailing.
Why do they come when you're always raining?
And why can't they make a sound?
And seeing the other ones fall back down.
Because you're so far from home,
And you're wailing.
You're so far from home,
And you're wailing.
And watched it grow in a small dark corner.
And why can't they make a sound?
And watching the other ones fall back down.
And I've watched you go cold,
And there's no tears left.
And why do they come when the light stops raining?
And where have the colors gone?
And wiping their way across,
And now it's all gone.
Because you're so far from home,
And you're wailing.
Why can't they make a sound?
And seeing the other ones fall back down.
And you're wailing.
And why can't they make a sound?
And seeing the other ones fall back down.
And you're wailing.
And you're wailing.
And why can't they make a sound?
And watching the other ones fall back down.
And there's no tears left.
And where have the colors gone?
And wiping their way across,
And now it's all gone.
And you're wailing.

when this begins, it's unclear why they're far from home, the song speaks of "they", who come when he's sad and at his lowest, quietly without him knowing. Maybe it's sickness, or depression or grief.. I think it's left to interpretation.
then you find out there's been a death
"and i've watched you grow cold, and there's no tears left"
and then you see why they're far from home and why they're in tears
and suddenly everything's grey and unexplainable
"And why do they come when the light stops raining? And where have the colors gone?"
The questions in the song are not something that has any real meaning or can be answered, however there is one answer they keep repeating. It's because "you're so far from home".
