Down in the Bottom Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Uncle Bob 

Cover art for Down in the Bottom lyrics by Walter Becker

Seems to me like yet another ballad of 'love gone sideways' from Walt and Don.

Perhaps the narrator is a man whose longtime wife has recently left him?

The old lady in the park is actually his own?

That's how it always hit me anyway. Maybe I am projecting?

Either way, Walter's solo stuff is highly underrated.
