though I am nothing big to offer
And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts of me
</i>

<i>
But sun is setting, shadows growing
A long cast figure will turn into night
And by your side, girl, where the acres grow
Into the strong and stunning meadow
A cowboy stumbling in the finest field
and nothing good out there won't be old
</i>
Over time he matures into a better man because of her.
<i>
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
</i>
The chorus speaks to the (mostly) transient bad times and how they are necessary to appreciate the good ones.
