I've always thought he was talking about his dog. All I can picture is a poor pup waiting by the window on her master who never returns home. It makes me cry every time I hear it.

So as much as i love my husband, this sounds more like my puppy who does this every time we leave.

Why a pup? well... she'll wait by your side She'll never let you out of her sight You're the one thing that matters in her life As she waits patiently by the window She knows you'll be coming home soon She'll sit quit there and won't go Her dedication can't be moved A pace to heavy to be her master All she wants is a stroll down the island She don't care if there's wind or there's rain

My Opinion

She is not slave to the pace, which is what is meant by 'master.' A dog? Seriously? It's about unconditional love....like a friendship with quality benefits....loyalty; trust; etc....qualities lacking in many relationships today.
