I think this song has a more general meaning about alienation and those who are forgotten and fall through the cracks of life, no matter the circumstances (love, war, or ??), from 1962 to 2022 and beyond. I think it is one of most beautiful, albeit sad songs, I have ever heard. It has been a part of my life for decades. What an accomplishment to write a song that touches people so.
