Another great Gordon Lightfoot song. Just when you think it’s headed to cliche, he comes up with an impossibly beautiful and mysterious line.
I really like what one YouTube commenter, Thomas Hofheinz, said about this song:
“This makes me remember something that never happened to me.”

Gordon Lightfoot at the peak of his long career.
For those Cervantes fans who can’t help but tilt at windmills.
You know who you are.

Gordon Lightfoot has decades of great singing and songwriting behind him, but I most enjoyed his songs from the early 1970s. Here’s a performance from a BBC special in 1972 where he sings one of his best, “If You Could Read My Mind.”
