Two things stand out for us in this 1970's hit from Gerry Rafferty. First, it speaks to the sense of purpose and focus women give men. Rafferty sings,

"You brought me into the light Threw away all those crazy dreams I put them all behind And it was you woman Right down the line"

Second, it implies the importance of a woman's trust to a man. If a woman trusts her man and doesn't feed into his doubt about whether or not he can do whatever he is taking on its very empowering for him. As Rafferty put it below,

"'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night Put somethin' better inside of me You brought me into the light"

Likewise the opposite is true. When she justifies his doubt with her own it can be the end of whatever he is up to.
