That's a bit pessimistic, Roadsternut. I'm only 70 and have loved this song since the late 60s. Jim had a real gift for melody, as mentioned the beginning sounds like a love song, a beautiful farewell to a lover, but then it transforms... . Perhaps it shouldn't considering the subject matter he gets into, lol, but then it developed as it was performed live, and The Doors, Jim, were into drama, weaving themes with music. He was a hopeless alcoholic but he could certainly write a tune, and sometimes poetry. Just tipping my hat to a great band.
