According to accounts from her family and friends, Connie was VERY private about her personal life and seemed to have no romantic life to speak of. I wonder if this song is based on a relationship she had or even just based on someone she knew personally. It seems too specific and tender to simply be a story she invented, but then again she was quite a skilled and imaginative storyteller.
Or is there perhaps a literary/pop culture reference (other than the play of the same name) that I'm missing here?
Beyond the speculation, I find this song so beautiful and dream-like. The lusciousness of her guitar playing always astounds me.
