From Billy in the "To Make You Feel My Love" CD Single....
"The other song you asked about was 'Summer, Highland Falls.' I lived, actually, in a town--upstate New York, right on the Hudson, just below West Point--and it's called Highland Falls. And I lived there, and it was at a time when I was in a relationship where the bloom was off the rose, the honeymoon was over. And, you realize how disappointing it can be when you love somebody so much and then you're mean to each other and you do hurtful things to each other. It's all out of love, but it's that first understanding that all is not right.
You either accept it and say, 'maybe we're not as perfect as we thought we were'--there's a certain disappointment, but there's also an acceptance. I was looking for one of those yin-yang kind of things."
