I remember my older sisters playing this song when I was younger. My sister recently passed and this song came to me, I hadn't thought of it in years. I believe it is a song about life, it never stays the same..ever changing. A tapestry...so many experiences....of rich and royal hue, happiness. What we'd like to hold onto, but we can't. I believe it is the same man she speaks of, when she was younger he was a drifter passing by....still she felt the sadness. Life moves forward, then she see, again, this man...older, as is she... the man represents loss, and in the end it is her he has come for.
