Rodgers and Hammerstein are credited for the song:

Guess Mark has been listening to musicals alot for Local Hero. And it inspired him for this song.

It's because MK plays with the slide the song "you'll never walk alone"

You read this and see the "I" telling a story and inevitably you think "I" is Mark of course. It's a key to know the story of his Dad now as it shows that he writes with the voice of other people. I wonder how many other people are hidden behind all those "I's" in all those songs he has written over the years.

Has anyone mentioned it? Introduction to Tunnel Of Love is Rodgers and Hammerstein. You Never Walk Alone too. I wonder if it's a coincidence

musically, it has absolutely nothing in common with Tunnel of love
the first part of song is based on a riff very similar to junkie doll, but the guitar is less saturated. I bet it's the 64 strat
the second part is based on you'll never walk alone, with a gorgeous slide outro

That sums up my feelings precisely.  That outro is shivers down the spine time.
