Lyric discussion by niteflite01 

This song is about watching a loved one attend to a parent as they're dying. When viewed in that context it's a very moving song.

The song climaxes with the singer, at the end of the song, talking to the dying parent in a gap between visitors in a busy hospital room;

"And I wait for a gap in the traffic, To tell her I'll always hold you close It's all I'm good for"
