Written by lead singerJon Anderson , the song was released as a B-side to "Roundabout" but became a surprise hit in its own right as a staplealbum-oriented rock radio. The song's 3:30 running time was uncharacteristically brief for a group known for expansive songs often longer than ten minutes. The end of the song fades into the next track on the album, "The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)". The two songs are usually played together on radio.External links
