Why does every song need to be about a relationship!?!?! :::frustrated::: This song, to me, is about aging and being depressed about life nearing an end. Despite enjoying being "wise" and knowledgable (experiencing so much), things are far more difficult, and with each passing season (even Summer), the days seem to be colder (as most people age, they get cold more easily as well...it works on two levels). All of your dreams were likely not accomplished (or they feel meaningless knowing that nothing we do really lasts), and all you believe will probably be wrong (if it isn't already) as others learn more... This is the feeling of a great Blues song in great Rock form (one of my favorites on the disk with the meaning behind it). He has celebrated aging, and this is a great contrast to that, which fits well on this album!
