Ten Years Gone
Rockabye Baby! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An′ Though The Course May Change Sometimes
Rivers Always Reach The Sea
Blind Stars Of Fortune
Each Have Several Rays
On The Wings Maybe
Down In Birds Of Prey
Kind Of Makes Me Feel Sometimes
But As The Eagle Leaves The Nest
It Got So Far To Go
Changes Fill My Time
Baby, That′s Alright With Me
In The Midst I Think Of You
And How It Used To Be
Did You Ever Really Need Somebody
And Really Need 'Em Bad
Did You Ever Really Want Somebody
The Best Love You Ever Had
Do You Ever Remember Me, Baby
Did It Feel So Good
Cause It Was Just The First Time
And You Knew You Would
Through The Eyes An' I Sparkle
Senses Growing Keen
Taste Your Love Along The Way
See Your Feathers Preen
Kind Of Makes Makes Me Feel Sometimes
Didn′t Have To Grow
We Are Eagles Of One Nest
The Nest Is In Our Soul
Vixen In My Dreams, With Great Surprise To Me
Never Thought I′d See Your Face The Way It Used To Be
Oh Darlin', Oh Darlin′
Ohh
Oh Darlin'
Oh, Yeah
Oh Darlin′
I'm Never Gonna Leave You
I Never Gonna Leave
Holdin′ On, Ten Years Gone
Ten Years Gone, Holdin' On, Ten Years Gone
Ten Years Gone, Holdin' On, Ten Years Gone
Holdin′ On, Everday
I′m Never
I Nev'
I′m Never
I Never
I'm Never
Oh
The lyrics to Ten Years Gone by Rockabye Baby! are about the passage of time and changes in relationships. The first verse sets the theme with the lines “Then as it was, then again it will be / An’ though the course may change sometimes / Rivers always reach the sea.” The imagery of rivers and blind stars of fortune are used to portray the inevitability of change, but how some things always remain constant. The second verse touches upon the idea of growth and leaving a comfortable space. “But as the eagle leaves the nest / It got so far to go” is meant to convey a sense of adventure and uncertainty that comes with leaving safety to venture into the wider world.
The chorus of the song features a series of questions that reflect on past relationships “Did you ever really need somebody / And really need 'em bad / Did you ever really want somebody / The best love you ever had / Do you ever remember me, baby / Did it feel so good / ‘Cause it was just the first time / And you knew you would”. These lines are meant to show how love can change over time and how we can outgrow people we once thought we needed.
