I agree with WayToBlue, it's always struck me as being about being a good father, the imagery of being tucked into bed and sung to, and of him doing up someone's coat, really invokes this for me. The sense of it very strongly reminds me of My Girls by Animal Collective, he wants to make everything better for his child, a "bigger boat" and a "brighter day".
