Sounds to me like our friend Donovan was in love with an underage, blonde hippie-child. And please don't forget, this was written in the days before "Just Say No" and "This is your brain on drugs..." Electric bananas were the norm, man. Try listening to Chicago's "Twenty-Five or -Six to Four." It was written at approximately 3:34am.
