This is yet another song that was not popular among some (like Graveyard, Kids, All for a Woman and Midnight) It had to be fought for. It’s just two people having a conversation. An artist and his muse. A sailor and his siren. She’s making fun of him, he’s granting her point. The white dress is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Midnight (to the white dresses at shows, the tortured reflection one perceives in such a long hall of mirrors). There’s a levity between them that comes to a singular realization that, at least for me, sums up what this whole record was about.

This is my favorite my favorite song on this album. “Bride & Groom” is 2nd.
another great one – you guys are on my tablet at work all day – even a bad day turns into a good one when i can listen to you all day! please tour this year!!
All of the songs you mentioned as unpopular are the most meaningful. I’m overwhelmed with your ability to convey emotion through lyrics. You are the best song writer I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
