My all-time favorite okkervil river song, and one of my favorite songs of all time. I always felt it was about a man whom god has blessed who's had too much of the whole "holy man" thing. With all the repetitions of "Enough of "the fright", enough "you and I", enough of "prevail" or "walk in the light", I got the inclination that he's grown tired of it all and wants to just live a normal life, as seen in the "I wonder with my head in my hands, should I call my wife?"
