This is one of my personal favorite Band songs and its a shame Richard Manuel had to die. If you haven't heard this it is very beautiful and calming. My interpretation of this song is that the author is in a depressed state of mind and oddly enough, could be classified as a blues song if you stretch enough. Its a trite 'ol girl left me song but more emphasis on the after-effects. Great duet by Levon and Richard by the way.
