I have no idea what this song means, almost feels like free association ("oh the busyness of traffic as her garden starts to wither/she opens up her violin so the darkness can forgive her" - huh?) but a very pretty song with their trademark harmonies. I immediately thought of this as the greatest song Simon & Garfunkel never wrote. Not surprisingly, they did "The Boxer" and "Sounds of Silence" at the Bitter End in 2023, and the duo of Steve and Johnny did a S&G tribute tour shortly thereafter (wish I caught that one). Anyway really love this group, even if I'm not wild about Thomas Merton's mystic theology (referenced in "Live in a Van").
