A beautiful and sad song, cleverly written. Simple context of a man separated from his sons mum because of his alcoholism. He knows it's his fault, and knows his ex is a good woman and will do her best by their son. He speaks to him in his sober moments, but knows there's no chance of reconciliation. He swore he would never repeat the mistakes his own father made, but life forces you down that road sometimes.
