Music video
[edit ]The music video for Shenandoah's rendition of the song was directed by Marcus Penczner and premiered in late 1990. The video shows scenes of a woman wandering all alone in her house, intercut with scenes of Shenandoah's lead singer, Marty Raybon (the only band member to appear in the video), singing in a room with only minimal daylight seeping in. At the end of the video, the woman leaves her house.
