This song is hypnotically beautiful. It is DECEPTIVELY simple. Note how the verses aren't the same in their phrasing, and the band (at least on her "All of our Names" album) plays and stops in different places.
The elegance and finesse of her lyrics, and of the band's playing, make this song spectacular. She is one of those rare songwriters who can somehow paint feelings through words - they aren't just words, they connect the meaning and FEELINGS of those words right to your soul when you hear them.
