He re-recorded it in Minneapolis in December 1974, and that version opens the album.
The words
A man retraces a love affair across years, jobs and cities, with the story shifting between viewpoints.
A man retraces a love affair that keeps breaking off and starting again over many years. The verses jump between places and jobs, from a marriage that falls apart to drifting work, a chance reunion and an old book of poems that moves him. The pronouns slip between he, I and she, so the story feels like memory shifting as it is retold. By the end he is back on the road, still looking for her. The Minneapolis version opens the album.
