Hello, I was watching the live dvd from Jim Croce, and in one of the segments, he and his wife Ingrid sing this song. Now did Gordon write this, or is it a standard. Unfortunately, don't get your hopes up. It's only a clip, but I'd like to figure out if he'd listened to Gord's music.
Thanks a lot.

I remember back in high school, around 1974 I saw a movie about Jim Croce's life, and he and his wife sang this song. I'd never heard about it again. It made such a huge impact as i was a Lightfoot fan way back then and instantly recognized the song.

Gord did write it, as he says during a thunderstorm in Cleveland.
