I think they are both aware of how old they are getting and the wife is showing that sometimes she doesn't want to sleep for fear of not waking up. It's the house telling you to close your eyes (Husband)" The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake (Wife) So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear (Husband) "I don't like walking around this old and empty house (Wife) You can picture them in laying in bed while the wife talks to her husband how she is scared of falling asleep. The husband tries to comfort his wife, as it is just the two of them in the house. The music from the start has a kind of old-timey feel almost like they are remembering their past and trying to comfort each other in their confusing present. When people get older they don't always know why they feel the way the do or why they say the things they say, but the constant in this couple is the love they have for each other. They both know that the other isn't in the same place mentally as they once were so they just cling to each other for comfort. I think it's about an old couple that have been so in love for so many years.
General CommentTo me this song, just the way it sounds, is way too beautiful to be about a failing marriage or just sleeping. Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore (hey, hey)
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right We used to play outside when we were young Soon it will be over and buried with our past Well, tell her that I miss our little talks This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore It's the house telling you to close your eyes So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear I don't like walking around this old and empty house
