This song was standard fare in the early '60s folk circles. Neil Young stated that he loved this song growing up in Canada maybe in part because it was written and sung by Ian Tyson, also Canadian. A really sad song about a couple going their separate ways. He speaks of the wind and the seas, things that don't change and refers to his feelings of loneliness. He makes attempts to get back together but it doesn't sound hopeful. A beautiful but sad song.
