Cover art for Sad Eyes lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

I think the song is about Bruce and his wife, Patti's relationship, for years since they first met they cautiously interacted in a semi-flirtatious relationship. Bruce talks about this with Patti during the third part of his autobiography "Born to Run".
