It closes the album and is often counted among his finest songs.
The words
A humble meditation on finding a guiding design in every small detail of an imperfect life.
In a quiet moment of reckoning, the singer looks back over his failings, temptations and regrets without excuses. He describes swinging between feeling watched over and feeling utterly alone, yet keeps finding signs of a guiding purpose in the smallest things around him. The song never preaches; it reads like a confession and a gentle act of acceptance. Unhurried and spacious, with harmonica, it closes the album and is often counted among his finest songs.
