Such a beautiful song. Addressed to his brother, I think.

Townes Van Zandt – Rake Lyrics	14 years ago
I think he's speaking from the perspective of a vampire, and that allows him to effectively lay down an analogy relating to his own volatile life.

Matthew John – Honey Bee Lyrics	17 years ago
Very vivid imagery and symbolism. The first part seems to be set in a cemetary (flowers and crying etc.) and then narrative ends up at a train station. "It was right on time just like it is every day" means that something can't be changed. perhaps it's about the inevitability of death?
