Yeah, if Stephen ever wrote a bad one, he must not have put it out.
I understand the pesonal thing. It hits home with most anybody who's been through the school of hard knocks.

As far as dragging ut out, the version I remember and I don't even know who was doing it, was even slower than the way you did it and I thought brought out the poignancy even more. I believe he slowed it down on certain passages but that's a lot of years ago.

There was another song I always associated with this one for some reason that I can't quite remember the name of.
Some of it went
"Now I'm walking the streets of the city"
"But no one has seen you go past".
"They say that I'm cnasing a mem'ry"
"My first love affair and my last"

Google could tell me I'm sure
