i think its completely chronological. i.e. while you were sleeping is also from before his mother's death
listen to the line about his father's "ill-widowed wife" - thus implying that at that point she was still alive
this is a stunning song. one of my favourites from the record
definately the best dream-folk album of 2007. personally i think elvis perkins and willy mason are so far ahead of anyone else in the singer-songwriter/folk stakes.
unless you include dylan, maybe.
