Cover art for September Morn lyrics by Neil Diamond

This song is about incest. This older man had a relationship with a young girl (possibly his niece) years ago at a far away place. The lines “Look at what you've done Why, you've become a grown-up girl. I still can hear you crying In a corner of your room“ give it away. The older man, her uncle, remembers seeing her when she was a young girl crying in the corner of her room.
