In my mind, Gord tried to deal with his pain through his work, and for only once in his recorded albums (as far as I'm concerned), the pain got the better of him.

I was sensing this internal pain very much on the songs If Children Had Wings and The Circle is Small. Speaking of If Children Had Wings, I notice the same thing (regarding the pain getting the better of him) when he sings:
"There were things that were said
There were things that were done
And a wife cannot stand too much pain"
