This song is a beauty, for sure, and it was written by Arlo Guthrie back many years ago.
If you read the lines carefully enough, you will se it is actually the story of a man's life, as it relates to the love of his life.
The song deals with his thoughts and reflections as he approaches his own death, I believe, and takes great comfort in knowing he is going to be reunited with his family, who he loved dearly.
At the end of his life, it all makes sense - why we do the things we do, and what matters most in the end, are the visceral memories of passion...
The way this song is done, the simplicity of the arrangement, the vocals, are just outstanding, because they let the lyrics live.
