Tim Hardin was handsome and addicted to heroin.It is known that his lookout for women was to steal their money for heroin. In 1965 he was in LA, where he knew tv actress Susan Yardley Morss. His following relationship with her was more important than usual. I think that the song "if I were a carpenter" means that without heroin he would never love Susan, and vice versa (carpenter is a man who repairs holes in wood, methaphor for heroin rehabilitation). From Susan side, attraction for weak
creatures is a typical feature of female sexuality. I'm Italian, but I have to say that the Italian song cover (Dik Dik - se io fossi un falegname) is a terrible metamorphosis of a wonderful song in the paracommunist manifesto.
