@SquishedButterfly Stephen.Kathy was living in Essex when Paul met her..She moved to Wales later in life. They met up again many years later when he gave tickets for her and her family to attend one of his shows in London.
@Stephen17249 Paul wrote the song just after he had returned from England, where he had spent one year or so. He had fallen in love with this Kathy, whom he missed once back in the USA. Among other things, in England he recorded the beautiful "The Paul Simon Song Book". Read also the notes to "Wednesday Morning 3 am". I also think this is the best version of the song.
@wimmy30 Stephen, The song was written by Paul around 1964 when he returned home after living and performing in England. He is missing his English girlfriend ,Kathy Chitty,who remained in England.
Indeed one of the most beautiful versions of this song. It captivates you from the beginning to the end. Loved it from the first moment I ever heard the song, many many years ago.
Clicked on a few before I found this version and it's the one I wanted as the others are too fast. I love this song, the lyrics are so beautiful. Who hasn't looked out on a rainy day and reflected on their life. Lovely.
Nice to see such a variety of Paul Simon pictures.Enjoyed them.Thanks.Makes you wonder if anyone else has/had created and crafted as many seriously beautiful songs as Paul Simon.
At 1.38 mn ;Paul McCartney and Paul Simon .Macca have a, very big admiration for him (PS) .

This Kathy (Chitty) is the very same Kathy that appears in "the song America
'Kathy', I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsbugh, 'Mitchigan seems like a dream to me now. It took us days to hitchhike from Saginaw....'

Why does his heart lie in England ?Is his love there ?
There's so much to this song that I do not follow logically.

@Stephen17249 yeah, though I'm pretty sure the Kathy in question actually lived in Wales.

Yes this is true and furthermore, it is one of those very few lovesong that hasn't got the word LOVE in the entire lyrics
