Obviously a song about young lust and fertility. Everything abou this song talks about a rendezvous between young lovers in the countryside. Several lines show the lustful aspect in the song. "Never a care, with your legs in the air, loving" obviously refers to a womans legs in the air while making love. "I'm tight against the seam" means that he has an erection. "Washes out the wild oat seed on velvet green" refers to the idea of "sowing one's wild oats", having lots of sex before eventually settling down for marriage. It's purely sex... as the girl has to "walk home cold and alone on velvet green"
Awesome song by Tull, very folksy and all around great acoustic work.

This entire album is a wonderful masterpiece.
For my money it holds up very well and is not found lacking when compared to Mozart's 25th Symphony.
