Brown Sugar
f.l.o. Lyrics

Hey, where did we go
Asking the question of where they went together in their youth.

Days when the rains came ?
Reminiscing about the days when it rained often.

Down in the hollow
Recalling a specific location where they played together.

Playing a new game
Trying out new things and experiencing life together.

Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Having fun together and enjoying each other's company.

Skipping and a-jumping
Being carefree and playful together.

In the misty morning fog with
Describing the setting of one of their memories.

Our, our hearts a-thumping
Feeling the excitement and anticipation of being with each other.

And you, my brown-eyed girl
Addressing a specific person who was a significant part of the songwriter's past.

Whatever happened
Wondering what became of their past experiences.

To Tuesday and so slow
Reflecting on how time used to pass by slowly in the past.

Going down to the old mine with a
Recalling a specific activity they used to do together.

Transistor radio
Describing a piece of technology that they used to listen to music together.

Standing in the sunlight laughing
Enjoying each other's company in a sunny location.

Hide behind a rainbow's wall
Using the metaphor of a rainbow to describe how they protected their friendship and experiences.

Slipping and a-sliding
Having fun together in a playful way.

All along the waterfall
Describing another location of one of their memories.

With you, my brown-eyed girl
Reiterating the significance of the person in the songwriter's past.

Do you remember when we used to sing
Asking the person if they remember a specific activity they used to do together.

Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Recalling a specific song that they used to sing together.

Just like that
Recalling how easy and carefree their past experiences were.

So hard to find my way
Expressing difficulty in adjusting to life without the person's presence.

Now that I'm all on my own
Acknowledging the absence of the person in the songwriter's life.

I saw you just the other day
Revealing that the songwriter recently saw the person again.

My, how you have grown!
Commenting on how the person has changed and grown since their past experiences.

Cast my memory back there, Lord
Trying to remember and bring back memories of a specific moment in their past.

Sometimes I'm overcome thinking about
Expressing how strong the songwriter's memories and emotions are.

Making love in the green grass
Recalling a specific intimate moment they shared together.

Behind the stadium
Describing where the intimate moment took place.

With you, my brown-eyed girl
Bringing the focus back to the significance of the person in the songwriter's past.

Laying in the green grass
Recalling another moment of relaxation and intimacy together.

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d
Using onomatopoeia to express the sound of their laughter and happiness together.
