Wiki:
Bowie described the song as a "pivotal" track for himself, calling it the most personal song he'd written for an album to that point in his career. The song is about Bowie's long-time personal assistant, Coco Schwab. Bowie described their relationship, saying:
"It's platonic. But there is a romance in it, I guess, inasmuch as it's hard for two people to feel totally at ease in each other's company for that period of time and not expect too much from each other. Always being prepared to be there if the other one needs someone, you know? There's not many people you find in life that you can do that with, or feel that way with."
I love this song! It's so sweet. :)
