Cover art for Stay Loose lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

Prescription for heartache. The songwriter acknowledges the pain of the end of love; at turns takes a philosophical approach ("even the best of love must end") but says you shouldn't suppress the pain ("to be insane beyond belief is sometime the best relief"). Optimistic notes in "the clouds will pass" and "if it's wrong, you're gonna right it", strong and supportive to the hearbroken.
