What's this song about?

1
I lived awhile without you,
2
darn near half my life.
3
I no longer see our unborn children,
4
born to you my unwed wife.
5
But yesterday I had a vision,
6
beneath the tree where we once talked,
7
of an old couple burning
8
their love letters so their children
9
won't be shocked.
10
[chorus:]
11
Love calls like the wild birds--
12
it's another day.
13
A Spring wind blew my list of
14
things to do...away.
15
My friends are gettin older,
16
so I guess I must be too.
17
Without their loving kindness,
18
I don't know what I'd do.
19
Oh the wine bottle's half empty--
20
the money's all spent.
21
And we're a cross between our parents
22
and hippies in a tent.
23
[repeat chorus]
24
In a mucked up lovely river,
25
I cast my little fly.
26
I look at that river and smell it
27
and it makes me wanna cry.
28
Oh to clean our dirty planet,
29
now there's a noble wish,
30
and I'm puttin my shoulder to the wheel
31
'cause I wanna catch some fish.
32
[repeat chorus]
33
Children go to sleep now--
34
you know it's gettin' late.
35
I know you don't like to miss nothin'
36
and school ain't that great.
37
Oh, I'll dance with you when you're happy,
38
and hold you when you're sad,
39
and hope you know how glad I am,
40
just to be you're Dad.
41
[repeat chorus]
42
Darlin' it's been a hard go
43
but I think we'll be okay.
44
I know I say that all the time
45
like everything else I say.
46
Oh, I've been gone so often,
47
but every time I miss you,
48
and I don't really know nothin',
49
Except I like to kiss you.
50
[repeat chorus]
