Lyric discussion by heartbeats_xxx 

The child is Downie's sister's boy. It has never been sung live. I guess because of the deep meaning to Gord. One of the lines is "ballons filled with rain" which I believe are referring to intravenous bottles.

but why does he say "theres no place that hes really been" that to me suggests that it was an unborn child

@heartbeats_xxx ooooooooooooh! Nice. That works.
