Lyric discussion by blind lemmon 

I think this song is about someone who is trying to cope with the death of someone close to them. They are in shock and don't believe that the person has died. They know it has happened, but they can't believe it. I think it is taken from a child's perspective. Maybe the mother died?

I've heard that this song is about her three year old sister dying when she was herself was six years old if thats correct then you were pretty close in evuating this song :P
