It is a beautiful song. I like it especially because, like many of Iron & Wine's songs, every line has meaning, and the symbolism is great as always.
I really like the first verse mention of yarrow. The yarrow plant thrives in poor soil and while many plants require attention to thrive, the yarrow requires none, much like the relationship Sam is describing in this song.
