Ian Tyson - Navajo Rug: I always wondered why the man had left his Katie love behind? Did he need to go elsewhere for work? Would their families not have approved? Was it just a fling for her, while he felt more? It must have been a significant event in his life to be so romanticized and on his mind years later. Perhaps his life didn't turn out as he had hoped, so he revels in the sweet nostalgia of a simpler happier time in his life.
