Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I cannot dare to look
At exactly what you took
I give it time to breathe
And wipe its tears on my sleeve
And it will break my heart
With every sound it makes,
on you
And it's all over dear
You squeeze my hand and I
I know it's true
His little hand round my thumb
Makes me warm and numb
I hold my breath and smile
and hope it stays for a while
And it will break my heart
With every sound it makes,
on you
And it's all over dear
You squeeze my hand and I
I know it's true
At exactly what you took
I give it time to breathe
And wipe its tears on my sleeve
And it will break my heart
With every sound it makes,
on you
And it's all over dear
You squeeze my hand and I
I know it's true
His little hand round my thumb
Makes me warm and numb
I hold my breath and smile
and hope it stays for a while
And it will break my heart
With every sound it makes,
on you
And it's all over dear
You squeeze my hand and I
I know it's true

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
i agree with sofia. i see the first couplet as him not being able to watch the pain of the birth, but then he gets the baby in his arms. i also assume that he calls the baby "it" because they did not find the sex of the baby out and when it was first born, they were in too much joy to notice. only at the end when they are admiring the baby does he call it a boy. one question: what does "sound it makes on you" refer to or mean?
