Man, yous are messin' it up for me. The first time I heard that Phil Lesh wrote this for his father while he was on his death bed I thought it was absolutely the most powerfully beautiful thing I'd ever heard. I didn't find it sad at all. It makes sense to me. And I love it. Beautiful. So I'm stickin' with that explanation.

I find it difficult to believe that they said this "exactly," since Robert Hunter, not Phil Lesh, wrote the lyrics.

co-written by Hunter and Phil. Phil was there seeing the entire thing through I believe.
