This lyrical style sure seems to indicate a guy who just lost his wife, at least to me. Notice that the lyric is "and *seems* as empty as the inside of me" rather than "and *feels*. If anyone can interpret this as coming from a woman, please let me know.įinally, The lyrics literally tip-toe around the emotional reality of the situation, sticking to the facts almost exclusively. Then the lyric, "One day I took your tiny hand" only makes sense from a man's perspective. Most "car talk" comes from guys, and all the references about "Shiniest thing I've ever seen", "quiet as a dream", and "nice and clean" indicate a guy, IMHO. The opening references about the car are the first hint. I agree with dark_maiden101 that this is from a guy's perspective about his wife's death, but it's indirect, which makes this song even better. At the same time, there's some subtlety in Patty's voice and the lyrics to give even more depth to this song. This song is excellent on so many levels - the music and lyrics have a simplicity and directness that reaches out and grabs you, pulling you in. I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
With me riding in a race car, and you flying through the cloudsįorty years go by with someone laying in your bedįorty years of things you wish you'd never said I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses downĪin't nothing left at all in the end of being proud Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground
