(Track 4 from the album The Sparrow and the Crow —.)
This song details the internal bargaining for reconciliation that begins when both spouses feel exceptionally alone, yet the both occupy the building that once made a home. The opening line strikes an appropriately disharmonic chord to those who, while enduring the anguish of marital dissolution, sleep further and further from their spouse and closer and closer to the periphery of the bed until the edge becomes an edge too narrow. In the reticent hours of early morning the bed’s edge rejects the nocturnal drifter and the inanimate arms of a chair welcomes him; an island for the castaway set adrift by his deep remorse and his wife’s inconsolable soul-barricade.
