NOT FOR SALE
The Gang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I sit and I stare at the rain
Isn't rain filled with sorrow?
Wonder if I'll see my home again
Will it be dry tomorrow?
Time passes softly and I'm a day older
But still I m living days gone by
Ashes to ashes, the rain's turning colder
Finding tomorrow, the ashes, the rain and I

Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes I sit and I stare at the rain
At times I find myself gazing at the pouring rain


Isn't rain filled with sorrow?
Isn't it true that rain symbolizes sadness?


Wonder if I'll see my home again
I ponder if I'll ever return to my beloved dwelling


Will it be dry tomorrow?
I wonder if the climate would be suitable and not rainy the next day


Time passes softly and I'm a day older
Time moves ahead calmly and gradually but also, I'm growing older with each passing day


But still I m living days gone by
However, I am still reminiscing about the past and holding on to those memories


Ashes to ashes, the rain's turning colder
All things transform from one state to another, the rain grows icier and colder as time advances


Finding tomorrow, the ashes, the rain and I
Yet, I'm still trying to look forward to what's ahead while at the same time reflecting on the past and dealing with the melancholic atmosphere around me
