As with a few of Patti's other songs, this one is utterly poignant, expressing a heart full of sympathy and longing, tenderness and steadfast loyalty. Don't know her in person but in her songs you can hear these qualities and more so clearly. And the melody is lovely, complemented nicely by the tumbleweed of words being sung by two sweet voices out of sync with each other in the bridge part -- "when you get to that place that's just under the stars..." Beautiful, heart-rending, touching and ephemeral, as with other great songs, but with its own special way of getting there.
