The early posters were way off base, IMHO. This song, about life's simple pleasures and sharing a life with someone you love (Ian Anderson was recently married to first wife Jennifer) followed up on the theme of Inside, from the previous album, Benefit. Watching the sun go down together, laughing at toast crumbs in the bed, and wondering how their life together will turn out. Unfortunatly, Ian's first marriage wouldn't last, although his second, to Shona, is something like 36 years and counting, I believe.
Wond'ring Again was written in 1970, although not included on Aqualung, even though it shared some of the pessimistic views (it's only the taking that makes you what you are) of other songs on the album.
