On an interview disc to promote the Year Of The Cat album, Al Stewart explained: "It's a very strange song. It's about a woman who checks into a hotel in order to be alone. She's alone for a little while and she orders room service. The man who comes up and brings the trey begins a lengthy relationship with her. They lock themselves in the room for about a week and then they order room service."
