I like it, but I think it's somewhere in the middle for me. I feel like it suffers from weird track placement. Doesn't feel like a 2nd to last song to me.
this is one of the few tracks on the album that has taken some time to grow on me but the more I hear it the more I'm falling in love with it. Last night it hit me when it came up just how amazing it really was!

It's my favorite as well. I love the lyrics, and it's probably one of my top 5 songs ever. It also seems like the song that Brendan O'Brien didn't mess with very much, which I like. Amongst the Waves, Johnny Guitar, and Unthought Known, are almost as amazing.

To me, it is, by a big margin, the worst, song on any Pearl Jam album. I've been listening to it over & over to try to find something likable about it. But I can't - it's bland, overwrought and thoroughly pedestrian. It sounds like it could be a cast-off from the Top Gun soundtrack. It's the first time that I've ever felt - in 18 years of listening to this band - that they've made a song I really never want to hear again.

Totally agree. One of the best songs they have ever done.
And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfish and clear
And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without
My best... friend. Wake up, to see you could have it all
understand she's a force of nature
contraband hiding deep inside he soul
exorcising her will to lose control
she lets go
a common man, he don't stand a chance, no
wonderland pulling alice in the hole
no way to save someone who won't take the rope
and just let's go
one man stands the edge of the ocean
a beacon on dry land
eyes upon the horizon
in the dark before the dawn
hurricane has the trade winds blowing
a gale force shaking windows in the storm
shipwreckon the rock that he calls home
with one light on
somewhere there'a a siren singing
a song only he hears
all the strenght that you might think
would disappear... resolving
one man stand alone, awaiting
for her to come home
eyes upon the horizon
in dark before the darkness meets the dawn
makes me ache... makes me shake...
is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?
last i say, he was out there waiting
a silhouette in the black light, full moon glow
in the sand there he stands upon the shore
forevermore
somewhere there's a siren singing
a song only he hears
all the strength that you might think
woul disappear, resolving
one man stands alone, awaiting
for her to come home
eyes are closed... you cannot know
but his heart don't seem to roam

"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
