Intro:    verse 1 I’m the green young gentleman And you’re the lady with the past I admit I’m insecure about How long we will last    verse 2 I sort through in my mind The little that I know But the only thing I find From where my musings go     verse 3 Is that kind of confusion That just makes more questions come    About the wild and shady world That you must have wandered from verse 4 You see I have no real complaints Of how you’ve left your past behind     I guess what gets me worried Is you’ve erased him from your mind              I wonder what happened to him     Your past is a canyon And I’m a stranger on the rim Looking down below to where it’s misty and dim Verse 5 But where there’s still shining A faint glow from a light It makes me wonder where he is Tonight

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la complexité des relations amoureuses, en particulier lorsque l’un des partenaires a un passé mystérieux. Le narrateur, en proie à l’insécurité, s’interroge sur celui qui a occupé une place importante dans la vie de sa compagne, se sentant comme un étranger face à l’inconnu. Il se rend compte que même si elle a tourné la page, cela le préoccupe de la manière dont elle a effacé cet ancien amour de sa mémoire. Malgré tout, il discerne une lueur d’espoir, cherchant à comprendre ce qui s’est passé dans cette histoire oubliée.
