Lyric discussion by re8ecca 

I agree with Champ Dream, except I thought the dead man was looking back and talking to his daughter that he disappointed. He wished she could have been proud (of her dad) and she is the songbird that he crushed somehow..through neglect? Although I supposed I could believe the wife interpretation as well. hmm.

either way, haunting song.

@re8ecca You are so right....very haunting. It just came into my head tonight and I played it again. Chocked up and just plain cried. Natalie Manes (sp) just sings her guts out!! That and the violins make this song just plain freeking amazing.There seems to be no replies to any of these comments? It's 2022...and I just had to write something!!
