In my sight this is a very sad song. It´s about someone who´s lost a person that he loved and he knows that person won´t return.
It´s a very personal Marc Cohn song, because his mother died when he was two, and this is a topic you can find in a lot of his songs.
It´s very difficult especially for children when they´re abandoned without getting an answer, what´s also the case when someone dies. But this song shows that the singer is accepting that situation because he knows that he can´t really change it, although it´s making him sad.
And there´s also a life of joy and beautiful things, you mustn´t forget that and you mustn´t forget to live it!
