Thursday Afternoon Rock N Roll: Josh Ritter's "To The Dogs Or Whoever"

Robbie Robertson once said that "The Weight" was about the impossibility of sainthood. This song is too:

Oh bring me the love that can sweeten a sword

A boat that can love the rocks or the shore

The love of the iceberg reaching out for a wreck

Can you love me like the crosses love the nape of the neck?
