Yes RMD agreed I had to read J-J's piece twice and was still not sure what he was getting at.

However bells rang and after I resorted to googling I rediscovered these words from the erudite pen/keyboard of Valerie
She says in her Songbook review of the then new unereleased tracks at:-
http://gordonlightfoot.com/Songbook.shtml
"One of the real jewels among these new songs is Too Much To Lose, a delightful country song which was actually mistakenly released on some 8 tracks and cassettes of the Old Dan's Records album. Since there was this mistaken release (and recall, of course), some copies of the song have been out there and a number of Lightfoot fans have heard it - and loved it - before. I happen to think that the song contains one of his most brilliant and poignant metaphors"
