A beautifully simple song by Laura about a man who although he has good intentions doesn't amount to much. I can Identify. Amazing how illustrative Laura Veirs' music is no matter what the subject.
One of my stranger interpretations of this song is that the guy is like the uni-bomber and his idea of chimney sweeping is cleaning up (i.e. bombing) anything he thinks is wrong. He writes his manifestos while quietly living in the forest. Just an off-color idea.
