Sugar Baby

The slow, brooding closing track runs well over six minutes.

The words

A world-weary man tells a woman that the old days are gone and warns her to face what is coming.

A world-weary man addresses a woman he calls Sugar Baby, telling her the old days are gone and that she should face what is coming. He looks over a dry, broken world full of hard lessons and false hopes, and warns her to make her peace before judgment arrives. His tone is tender and stern at once, more sorrowful than scolding. The slow, brooding closing track runs well over six minutes.
