I don't really care care what this song means in terms of it's lyrical content. Today I played it for the first time in about 20 years and I'd forgotten what a beautiful song it is. It made me think of my children, two of whom have left home, two about to become adolescents and how, now, after bringing these lovely beings into the world time is going so quickly and it won't be long until they've all grown up and gone away.
