This song has what it takes to grab your deepest emotions and demand it's attention...
To me this song is simple... it is about a homeless prostitute who lived on the streets for seven years and struggles with a drug addiction.
In the verses, she is talking as if she were talking to people who pass her by on the street. The great twist and "hit" of the song is in the last verse.
In my opinion, I believe when he says "The birth and the death were both over with no one to grieve", he makes a reference that she was pregnant, and it "hits" when he sings the chorus after that verse, because not only is he talking about the woman (who died at the bluff) but he is also talking about the unborn baby. Beautiful Jon.... Beautiful....
I'll be honest, I cried when I first heard this song. Jon shows us that no matter what happens to us in life, or no matter how much we screw it up... we are still HIS children, and He still loves us. =*)
