When I first heard this song, I just thought it was the sweetest little story. I thought he came home and his wife had received the letter in error.
Then I listened to it again and the realization that he could just as well be dead began creeping up on me, and that was depressing.
It's a beautiful song, though, and I like to think that it's open-ended on that.
