Marx crafted an intimate portrait of temporary separation and patient devotion, but listeners transformed it into something more universal—a song about longing that outlasts the specific circumstance. The song became less about waiting for one person to return and more about the ache of missing someone, making it resonate across countless varieties of absence and loss that listeners brought to it themselves.
