A slow, drifting ballad that runs nearly eight minutes.
The words
Left behind by a lover, the singer lingers between staying and going, unable to let the feeling die.
Left by a lover, the singer stands at a threshold, unsure whether to stay where she left him or move on. Over nearly eight minutes he drifts through memories, the small sounds of the night and flashes of bitterness, yet keeps returning to a love that will not fade. He insists he will get by, though he never sounds certain of it. The ballad moves slowly and loosely, matching the singer's hesitation.
