This is one of my favorite tunes on "Down Loaded" because it says a lot with very few words. I wrote it while I was sitting on a park bench watching some kids play.  I saw a woman who looked like a grown version of a girl I'd known as a teenager, and she had her little girl on her knee -- they were laughing.  So I invented a whole story about us having been lovers a long time ago, now she's married with her kid, and the blue feelings I might have about having let her go. The melody goes back to some old Folkways and RBF recordings that I used to listen to when I first started playing. It's kind of a melding of many folk and traditional melodies.
