I love this song. I've never heard a song that expresses how I feel about my daughters more than this this song. Beautiful lyrics. Townes was a great talent.

This song can be found on the album No Deeper Blue. It was Townes' last album of original songs, and one of his very best.

Much respect goes out to this man. If there's one thing I can say about him that I know's true, he loved his family and he loved folk music. Two things that me and him have in common.

The words are breath taking....

How can such a beautiful, talented, kind, generous, highly intelligent, funny, gifted human being suffer so much inside, yet produce the most amazing thoughtful songs

Katie Bell, today is your father's 66th Birthday. Please know that he is in heaven looking down on you and your family. Your dad was the best ever... Don't forget that!!!

Man I love Townes's song writing. Just stumbled across this video. It's a shame it doesn't have more views. He passed away less than 2 years after this song video was recorded. He seems so fucking sad and broken here. It's hard to watch. Regardless, he was hands down one the very best songwriter's of the 20th century. His music touched a ton of people, including me. Even though he is no longer around, his music has helped get me through some unbelievably difficult times. Cheers to you Mr. Van Zandt. You were a warrior and a sinful saint.
