- It sounds like Andrew Lloyd Webber at his best. (I stand by that statement.)
- It's recognizably Peter Paul & Mary but uses a richer pop instrumentation than usual instead of their legendary harmonies. (Is that a little bit of gentle organ I hear? And check out that percussion!)
- The narrator, as in several other of their love songs, is an obviously intelligent and talented woman who mourns the difficulties of love as a traveling musician. Usually the woman's role in that story is as the one who is left behind, not the one who is (reluctantly) leaving. (Previously: "Leavin' On A Jet Plane")
- Its vision of love as a warm friendship involving late-night talks, shared travel, and an easy integration into each others' lives. Sounds pretty good to me.
