Patti wrote this when John Paul I , who had not been Pope for very long, unexpectedly died at about the same time the band was completing work on what was to be the Wave LP (hence the lines "goodbye, sir...goodbye, Papa"), which may explain the "confessional" quality commenter draven26 detected. It was also appropriate that such a nakedly emotional poem closed the album, since Wave marked the end of the original band's recording existence,because you could also interpret it as a goodbye to them.
