The Song is about an automobile accident I had in California in 1973, where I went over a 50 foot cliff on my way home from high school on Winding Way, in my 1957 Thunderbird and crashed at the bottom of the cliff into a beautiful estate’s Japanese garden.  A school bus had just let kids off on the side of the rural road.  The road was wet going around the corner and my car started to slide, and so I swerved to avoid the dozen or so highschool’ers, opting to go over the cliff instead.  

Honestly, that day, my guardians were definitely with me and it was a profound epiphany on the preciousness of life.
