First issued as a B-side, this hard-rocking song was added to later editions of Shot of Love.
The words
A man searches for a vanished woman in a world that seems to be falling apart around him.
The narrator is looking for a woman who has disappeared, piecing together rumors of where she might be while the landscape around him grows violent and chaotic. Personal loss and visions of a world near collapse run together, so the song reads as both a love story and an apocalyptic warning. Its refrain returns to the image of a groom left waiting at a wedding. A fierce, driving rock arrangement makes it one of the most energetic tracks of the period.
