Hmm.. I've always thought this song was about Gord having to leave his wife to go on tour with the band. He said before the performing this at a recent canada day concert "This is about a silverjet that keeps fuckin' things up." The line "packing is a secret art", is wrong in the posted lyrics. I think he's referring to the fact that he doesn't like his wife to see him packing, cause she gets sad. And well, both times it says "as you whisper 'me too'" a silverjet roars overhead.. he's on the jet.. he's gone.. not getting time to really be with her... that's what i thought anyway.
