One of the most heartbreaking love songs ever. She is saying goodbye "here in the dark in these final hours" to someone she loves; someone who didn't return her love. She is honestly accepting a heartbreak and a goodbye, honestly accepting the pain, trading everything--even her dignity--for one last night.
If you understand this song, you probably won't be able to hear it without crying.
Bonnie Raitt performed this song in a concert to say goodbye to Don Kirschner when he died. She's got courage.

This song is about a guy who's hooking up with a girl while he still has a broken heart because of another girl. He loved girl 1 and he's using girl 2 to help him forget. He's singing to girl 2. He wants her by his side to help him dry the tears he's cried. He promises he'll try to love again.
It's not a very good thing to do to girl 2, but it happens. People use others.
This is a song you would never want to have a new lover sing to you.
