she's so fine
(Redding) Lyrics

She walks with a bell-clock round her neck
She wears a necklace that looks like a clock, making the hippies believe she's keeping up with the current trends and fashion.

So the hippies think she's in with time
Her fashion style is trendy enough to be accepted by the hippie subculture, indicating that she's fashionable and stylish.

Her hair glistens like robins on a deck
Her hair reflects the sunshine like how robins shine on a deck. It's a beautiful, mesmerizing sight.

Branches attack me from her neck
Her necklace's branches seem to come after the artist as they're like an attacking force, making the piece of jewelry seem overpowering and intimidating.

The sun from a cloud sinks into her eyes
The artist is describing the way the sun illuminates her eyes, making them sparkle and shine in a captivating way.

The rain from a tree soaks into her mind
Just like how rain soaks into the ground and trees, she seems to have absorbed the knowledge and wisdom around her. She's introspective and intelligent.

Morning sign sounds just like a lock
The sound of the morning birds sounds like someone locking and unlocking something, perhaps indicating that there's a sense of closure or opening when she's around.

All these signs are always a stock
All the signs that come with her presence - whether it be her fashion, personality, or aura - are always there and never changing. It's like she's always consistent and true to herself.

When I veer I get so near
Whenever the artist tries to veer away, they seem to come back to her. They're drawn to her in some way.

But so far far far away
Despite the attraction, there's still some distance between them, whether it be physical or emotional distance.

Listen to me, today
The singer wants us to pay attention to what they're saying because their words are important.

We united just beside a leaf
They came together next to a leaf, perhaps indicating that their relationship is fragile and vulnerable, like the leaf itself.

The ground was hard underneath her
Even with something soft and vulnerable nearby, she's like the hard ground underfoot - strong and resilient, yet grounded.

She's so fine
Overall, the singer can't stop praising her beauty, both on the inside and outside.

She's so very very fine
Their admiration for her is so strong that they have to repeat it - she's truly amazing.
