One of my favorite songs from "Dark is the Way". The guitar work is understated and pleasing; i especially love the intro which gives off a bit of a "western" vibe.

The songwriting evokes a lot of what Stephen does best- he shows brutal and genuine honesty about tough parts of life in a beautiful and poetic way. My favorite line is "I'm so sorry that I can't apologize". He's not apologizing for not apologizing, he's apologizing because he CAN'T apologize for what hes done. I also like how he refers to himself as a "boy"- very vulnerable and heart-on-you-sleeve. The only part I don't like about this song is "Honey, honey" which doesn't really seem to fit with the song and really throws things off when its meaning is about him and God.
