It's All Coming Back to Me Now
Marion Raven Lyrics

There were nights when the wind was so cold
The singer is recalling moments of extreme coldness during lonely nights.

That my body froze in bed if I just listened to it right outside the window
The singer's body was so cold that it felt like it was freezing in bed and the sound of the cold wind outside was unbearable.

There were days when the sun was so cruel
The singer is recalling times when the sun was so hot and intense that it was difficult to be outside.

That all the tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever
The artist's tears dried up so quickly in the scorching sun that they turned to dust and it felt like their eyes would never cry again.

I finished crying in the instant that you left
The artist stopped crying right after their partner left.

And I can't remember where or when or how

And I banished every memory you and I have ever made

It's so hard to believe but it's all coming back to me now

But you were history with the slamming of the door
