This could almost be the same character from "Am I Very Wrong?". Certainly both songs seem to champion the idea of free thinking. Where is this character hiding? Is it also "behind the glare of an open minded stare"? Is it the place we started at in "Where the Sour Turns to Sweet?" Lost in beauty, on a mountain, floating on a river, far from the factories of truth (schools?). The idea of The River is an archetype that I will discuss later in these notes (if you are reading them in chronological order of songs and album releases that is!) There seems to be a definite division between the pastoral place of hiding and the cities of night. Natural space versus urban constriction. This song was originally one of the first songs the group ever made - it was an instrumental guitar piece by Anthony Phillips entitled "Patricia"
