Joni is one of few truly great singer-songwriters. Apart from her unique playing style, what sets her apart from most, is how directly she communicates her feelings and the way that she shares with you images of places and people.
Carey covers a time when traveling in Europe - specifically here the island of Crete near the town of Matala. (I think the lyric should read "... Beneath the Matala moon."
Cary was a guy from North Carolina that she met while on the island and had to leave to continue her trip and eventual return to California.

Every time I hear this song I feel the urge to jump on a plane to Crete to get lost for a while.
