Baby Blue Eyes Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Sunnyhill 

Cover art for Baby Blue Eyes lyrics by Doug Parkinson

I love this song - I think about the story behind it every time I hear it and it sticks in my head. It seems to be about a boy and girl who grow up together, probably in a country town. The girl grows to love the guy but he doesn't reciprocate and leaves [for the city?] to sort himself out. After a while, he realises what he is missing and catches a train to take him back to his country home - and maybe to the girl he left behind.
