This song is very beuatiful. Its one of Jewel's best in an era when she was writing deep and emotionally charged, insightful songs.
Its about lonliness and the dreams of love but it has the magical/mythical qualities of her epic songs Jupiter and Barcelona. It fits well with the rest of the Spirit album.
I particularly like the verse:
The clock became a bullet hole
Cruel and unkind
It hurt me with it's second hand
Alone another night
This is just so descriptive. You can feel her lonliness and the pain as the clock is ticking her life away.
