I happened to hear this song immediately after hearing selections from Derek and the Dominoes' album "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs," also released in 1970, the title track of which was of course written about George's wife Patti. It got me to wondering if these lyrics might have also been written with Patti in mind. In the absence of information about exactly when George wrote these lyrics, we can only speculate.
