Re: Lyrics
Actually, Craig, Gord's first recording of the song (on Lightfoot!) had "where the cold wind blows". The Gord's Gold version has the lyrics you quoted ("pain"), and that's how Gord sings it today. But he sang the "pavement" version in concert during the 60s, so he has sung it all 3 ways!
I happen to think the pavement version was the result of somebody having fun; whether it was Peter, or Gord who sang it that way first I don't know, and they may not remember.
Gord has made little changes in lyrics in many songs over the years; I think that many songwriters do that.
