I think this song is totally great. It gives me this image of a man standing on the bow of a ship at sunset, looking out towards the vast sea; a true traveler. Also, the pony is a cool metaphor in a lot of ways. I think the pony is like the silent comrade, always by your side, no matter what. You never need to tell the pony what to do, but you trust that he's always there to do it. It also helps the sense of silence. On the boat, Lyle may be lonely, but he his not alone.
