The songwriter is trying to gain sympathy from the audience because his ex dumped him. He tries to villianize the ex. Would like to hear her perspective of the relationship. And why he thinks the world of himself ("The brighest ring around the moon will darken when I die" - that's conceited).
Several decades have passed since this song was composed. If it was based on a real life incident, I hope the songwriter has moved-on; bet the ex doesn't even reflect on what she did to him. The ultimate revenge (if a person is dumped) is to live well; not hope for the ex's misfortune. Karma always comes back around to everyone in one form or another.
Isn't that kinda what happens when one is dumped? And no karma doesn't always come back on some that don't do right by others. Thanx for digging this one up.lol. :)

"And no karma doesn't always come back on some that don't do right by others." I think it happens, but we will never see it. A person who constantly breaks the law is bound to slip-up and get caught sooner or later. Same way, a person who breaks hearts will pay some kind of emotional toll. It can also change that person back on the path of righteousness into a relationship that lasts a lifetime. Either way, the healthiest thing for a person who has been dumped is to move on and live well!

How do you know she moved on. John Wetton the singer is a legend and who is this lady? Some nameless faceless woman who took advantage of a rock star and now lives in obsucrity.

@lyricalONE John Wetton sang an almost identical lyric while with the band "Family" in '71-'72. "The brightest ring around the moon will darken as you cry." youtube.com/watch
