Well with all due respect and I know it is all up to interpretation but I think this song is about an older man who lost his wife.
Not to divorce but to death.
I think of my grandpa when I hear this song. Colin Hay is a god lyrically because his songs are so personal yet they touch everyone. So bluntly personal at times that when at first you go what? but it isn't about making a song that sells its about telling the story
