that second 'at last' is like a kick to the throat
I think that a significant amount of time has passed and he forgot that his stepfather is still alive. But now he can't think about anything else, and unlike in the rest of the sunset tree, he remembers the good times at the race track when he used to take john when he was younger.
he rememberes getting up before dawn. the call at 3am.
and realizing that even though it's over it's like a finger trap that he can't ever really escape from.
but then repeats the chorus
and even though his stepfather's died, there is new life like the indiana sawgrass and seaweed
and if anyone wanted to know, indian sawgrass is a grass that is coarse and saw edged, but gives shelter and food to a lot of wildlife.
she told me how you'd died at last, at last?
