Do the flowers in you window box Still smile when you walk in? Did you read the letters that I wrote? And I’ve been on the road since Christmas But it don’t seem so long Outside of that there isn’t much to say. I cut down on my drinkin’ some And wrote another song       I wish you wouldn’t look at me that way Remember all the mornings We’d walk around the park The nights we babysat for Billy’s kids And all the times we used to talk Of having one ourselves I don’t remember why we never did Do the neighbors still complain a bit When the music gets too loud? Does your old cat still sleep up on the bed? And do you still walk around With your head up in the clouds?       Have you heard a single thing I’ve said? It’s a two day drive to New York Guess I’d better go Have you noticed the weather’s gettin’ cold? And it’s a long time since I saw you last Tell me how you’ve been Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat? Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les souvenirs d'une rencontre perdue et d'un lien qui s'est estompé avec le temps. L'artiste pose des questions sur la vie de l'autre, s'interrogeant notamment sur un manteau jaune dont il se souvient, tout en se remémorant de moments partagés. Il évoque avec nostalgie les promenades dans le parc et les nuits passées à garder les enfants, tout en laissant transparaître une certaine mélancolie sur ce qui n'a pas été accompli dans leur relation. Le contexte de la chanson semble être une sorte de voyage introspectif, où le protagoniste revient sur son passé après un temps d'éloignement, tout en prenant conscience du froid qui s'installe dans l'air, symbolisant peut-être la distance émotionnelle qui s'est creusée entre eux. Ce mélange de souvenirs tendres et de regrets perdus fait ressortir une douceur poignante dans ses réflexions.
