I always thought this was a song about appreciation and not taking people for granted. (Like a cloud his fingers explode) He’s at a typewriter thinking of something to write but nothing comes to him. (On the typewriter ribbon, the shadow grows) Time passes. (His hearts in a bowl behind the bank) I get a feeling from this line but I can’t put it into words. (And every evening when he gets home-To make his supper and eat it alone-His black shirt cries-While his shoes get cold) Many thoughts pass through his mind and he thinks about his wife dying, coming home after the funeral in his black clothes, and thinks about being alone from now on. (One summer, a suicide) Dreams of killing himself, he can’t live without her (Another autumn, a traveler’s guide) Dreams of moving on and putting it behind him. (He hits snooze twice before he dies) He's only at peace when he’s asleep, so when he wakes he slowly remebers she’s gone and life and the day are more like death to him now. (He feels lucky to have you here-In his kitchen, in your chair-Sometimes he forgets that you're even there-It's just a dream he keeps having-And it doesn't seem to mean anything) He shakes the thought from his head and looks at his wife and realizes how lucky he is. It's just a dream And it doesn't seem to mean anything Relief This song makes me so happy, I think about all the people in my life and how lucky I am to have them. |
