I heard this song on the radio earlier – in the charts this day 40 years ago, pop pickers. The most famous part of this song is probably the remarkable low piano riff that repeats between couplets.
Unless I’m missing something, it’s a story of a boy losing his innocence to a much older woman. As the other comment here mentions, there are some nice lines in here although the final verse (“but the memory lingers”, “feel the touch of her fingers”) are reminiscent of Paul Simon’s Duncan, which covers similar ground.
