When my partner was dying of cancer last year, especially during the last couple months when it was obvious she wasn't going to make it, this song was playing on almost endless loop in my mind...especially the third verse, and the lines about "the front door closing forever".
I remember the night the ambulance came because she'd stopped breathing. As they loaded her up on the stretcher and got her out of there, I remember those few lines playing in my head over and over again, all through the drive to the hospital and the wait and when I was brought in to see the body for the last time. I will never be able to hear this song without going back to those moments. And sometimes, that's all right.
