This whole album, The Ugly Organ, is a masterpiece! It's so amazing! Anyways, at first I didn't understand this song, but when I like the lyrics I have to analyze the song. I'm pretty sure I get what it's about...but this whole album is full of stories, so whether it is a story or a personal experience, I can't say...I don't know the band. This song is full of imagery, he describes this perfect place where a girl and her mother live, and then he imagines this whole situation about how the mother is and does she have a man in her life and stuff...and he (the singer) is the father of the girl, Sierra. The mother and Sierra are no longer in his life and he desperately wants them back, but everything is different, and he can't have that...even though he's now realized it's the most important thing to him. Beautiful song.
