I always believed this song to be something of a sequel to the song "Sand in Your Shoes." Delia is the lady of the islands that they say goodbye to in the original. Now they're having to deal with her being gone. As the old cliche goes, you never know how good something is until it's gone.
Like all of the first side of Indian Summer, this song was originally recorded for 24 Carrots (The album has the word parrots with the p crossed out and a c written above it.)
