In my reply above, I said "Where do you go from there? I don't think this song really presents an answer."
Actually it does.
As I said - the clouds bring rain, the rain turns the sea grey. Stevie's reply to the reality of ageing, of "but inside, I'm still me!" was:
"And so with the slow graceful flow of age I went forth with an age old desire...to please"
To please - to bring pleasure. She tried to reply to the reality of her 20's being gone forever with sex. Sex, in fact, with someone a bit too young. Someone with the words of a poet, the voice from a choir. Just some young dude in some band at the time . No idea who.
And it didn't work out. "Well then suddenly there was no one left standing in the hall". Oops.
Yeah, Stevie - it happens. And it sucks. We all just have to deal.
