This song is a narrative about returning home to hundreds of memories. For example, he remembers the moss tree from which he used to collect in his wagon and make wigs or beards. Each time he comes home it feels more and more like a house, and this only reminds the writer of the separation he is involuntarily experiencing from his family. He used to use moss for wigs... but now he has a real one. The entire song is filled with imagery like that. Absolutely beautiful. This is truly poetry.
