Obsession. Being with someone you utterly fell head over heels for and then breaking apart. But not because it's your choice. Gordon lightfoot captures the feeling so perfectly with the imagery of not being able to think about anything else while he looks at meloncholy things, the rain, the wind, the trees... "feeling the pain of love lost running through my brain".
The suprising thing is at the end, and he emphasizes this "Waiting for a line to fall telling you its all a big mistake.... BUT THE WORDS WONT COME", but earlier he says thinking about the love thats gone is wrong. I guess its a song about rejection, and longing for that person. Great song.
