This song reminds me of Lanegan's Pill Hill Serenade. The rising of the sun, the disappearing of the stars, the things that signal a new day and inspire optimism in most people, for him, signal the coming of six white horses with carriages drawn. Six white horses carry bodies to their grave. The rhythm to this song almost feels like it's carrying you away, it distracts from the underlying bleakness of following the moon looking for happiness. I've noticed this in a few of the songs Lanegan has performed (e.g. Sworn and Broken).
