![]() Harlequin was a Commedia dell'arte character of lowly rank, often shown with a lute, who sometimes pursued ladies above his class. ![]() This is one of the songs Stills spat out during his "PLEEEZE marry me, Judy!" period. Remember, guys, it's all about Judy Collins. Keach apparently gets along great with the kid, too, and poor Stephen is out of the picture. ![]() She eventually hooks up with Stacy Keach (Stills and Keach probably didn't meet in the stairwell, but that's a good metaphor for seeing that you have competition). He wonders if she's about to dump him, or if he ever even had a chance with her in the first place. The rest of the lyrics suggest Judy is doing a variant on the whole "it's not you, it's ME" thing (she is going through therapy around this time, and he thinks it's a bunch of BS). He decides that she's the one, endears himself to her son Clark (yes, I think that's the "three") and hopes for a future together. He falls for her "true gentle spirit", she says the word he's waiting for, and they begin a torrid affair. Buffalo Springfield was coming apart, CSN was not on the radar yet, and he was making ends meet as a session guitarist for, among others, Judy the reigning queen of folk music. Believe it or not, that would have been a fitting alter ego for Stephen in 1968, when he was far from being a superstar. ![]() I am lonely but you can free me Je me sens seul mais tu peux me libérer All in the way that you smile Rien que par ta façon de sourire.Remember, guys, it's all about Judy Collins. Tell me lies later, come and see me Raconte-moi tes mensonges plus tard, et viens me voir I'll be around for a while. Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself, Est-ce difficile de t'arranger avec toi-même, When you're old enough to repay but young enough to sell? Quand tu es assez vieux pour rembourser, mais assez jeune pour vendre? Tell me why, tell me why ? Dis-moi pourquoi, dis-moi pourquoi? Sailing heart-ships through broken harbors A naviguer sur les voiliers du cœur à travers des ports détruits Out on the waves in the night Au gré des vagues dans la nuit Still the searcher must ride the dark horse Toujours l'explorateur doit monter le cheval noir Racing alone in his fright. ![]()
