The lyrics were written in the middle of the night after yet another bad experience (in a very long chain of them) with a woman who inspired so many of my other songs the same way.

Where to draw the lines in one's life? Very old questions, and finding answers- literal or metaphorical - is never easy, with no guarantees.
The music was a challenge because the rhyme scheme of the poem is weird. I was stumped for a while until I thought, "How would Peter Hammill do it?" Suddenly I had a starting point for an approach, and the song was written in an hour or two.
