it's criminal that this song isn't better known. harry's voice was kind of ragged at this point, still recovering from the madness of "pussy cats", but if anything it makes the song even more affecting. it sounds like it could have been an old standard sung by a particularly weary sinatra or someone along those lines, and yet harry wrote it himself and i don't think anyone has ever covered it. ironic that the two biggest hits he had were with songs written by other people, while his songs were bigger hits in the hands of other bands.
