I think this is my favorite of E's solo efforts.

My thought is that in a rather rocky doubtbul relationship with God, the narrator of the song is nonetheless drawn back to Him through his feelings for this troubled girl.

He wants her, yes, but he also wants to help her. And he senses that he can't do that alone.

I love the chanting and the bell wound into the song at the end. Beautiful.
