That song has a lot of meaning to me. I was engaged to a lovely lady and had to make a decision whether to call it off and move on, or not. Well I did move on and I can still remember laying on my bed listening to that song while I was thinking. Still breaks my heart because she was thoroughly crushed. One of the nicest people I have ever met in my life, but it just wasn't going to work.
The great thing about Lighfoot's songs are that many of them are owned by a specific situation in my past. Listening to certain songs brings me back as if it were yesterday.
