I always took this song the way SRV Blues says above except: the girl is planning to get married.."your everlasting summer you can see it fading fast so you grab a piece of something that you think is going to last..you wouldn't know a diamond if you held it in your hand"... Guess many guys have known a girl who marries because she feels she's gettin' old..
The line "..you been tell me you're a genius..I don't know what you mean.." is wonderful!
And the guitar playing! I used to think I could play a little but when I heard this I gave up. How're you ever gonna get this good?
