I listened and I have no idea what this song is about and somehow I love it dearly. It was probably written on psychedelics is all I can reckon. What strikes me is it has heart and soul, and a magical meaning I'll never quite understand. IMO
This one, along with the Animals House of the Rising Sun, was the first song I remember hitting me like a ton of bricks. I was maybe 7 years old and it came on over the radio in my dad's Mercury. Both of those songs remain favorites of mine to this day.
