This was the one that really caught my attention off Tracks, the great music plus the story that really draws you in. I can listen to this over and over again, just wondering who the Rider in the black night is, and what happened to the narrator and his girlfriend that they're running down a pitch black road.
Someone has done something horrible to either the narrator and his girl, or just to his girlfriend. She's in terrible distress, and he's trying to comfort her.
I feel that the meaning here is simply that he's going to do everything he can to protect her. As it says, If i could take all your sorrow---that's what i'd do for you (I think it's act. little one). You can't run away from what's troubling you, you have to take them as they come, just deal with them. The narrator is willing to do anything to protect and heal this person that I think he loves. The last line is one of the greatest lines not that i've heard just from Bruce, but anywhwere for what it means:
I swear I'll take em baby when they come
@guns135 I think “the rider in the black night” is just about the traveler, so he can get to his destination safely, as well as a metaphor for traveling though life, how we stumble about “blindly” through life, wondering about our purpose, God, etc. To “save him” is just a prayer, for we are ALL that rider.

How has no one commented on this?
