I love this beautiful waltz. I find myself playing it on repeat often.
Listening to the car radio recently, I heard Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer" (http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/7344/) and thought the themes were similar. The loneliness that the cold of winter represents, travel as an escape, home comings, and seeking comfort. The latter is what brought me to this comparison.
When Paul sang:
"Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue
I do declare,
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there."
I couldn't help but wonder if that is the comfort Sea Wolf was talking about finding on St. Catherine Street, maybe in the red-light district or perhaps with alcohol in nightclubs where he might find a potential lover.
