Good write, as usual - even for a 40+ year old song.

The change of POV through the verses was notable.
The sparse instrumentation worked for me - the additional instrumentation were subtle and didn't distract.
The only nit was the harmonies - they were perhaps a bit too close rhythmically. These days, anything
too perfect calls attention to itself as sounding unnatural.

I enjoyed the song, which is really the important bit.
