Long ago I had a boyfriend who played the guitar and he sang this song to me. He sang it so beautifully, but I couldn't understand the lyrics. "It's sacrilege for us to take advantage of the blind."? Today I found it on Youtube with a comment, saying that Graham Nash wrote it about how bad he felt for a man whose wife he was having an affair with. It's about guilt and shame. Now it all makes sense.
the ridiculous thing is that this song is very short and only gets going after 1 minute 30, but if you have the patience give it a listen. The harmonies are outstanding.
new link - old one had been removed, but no Crosby harmonies on this one :(
