Annotationen
Ein unveröffentlichter Song von Abba. Ursprünglich war er für ein Folgealbum von The Visitors gedacht und aufgenommen worden. Dieses Album wurde aber nie finalisiert, weil Abba auseinanderdrifteten.
Richtig zufrieden waren die beiden Songwriter mit ihrem Werk nicht. Sie versuchten diesen Song immer wieder zu verändern. Sie entnehmen ihm zuerst ein Riff für Under Attack. Dann erscheint der Song auf den Demoaufnahmen für Chess als «When the Waves Roll Out to Sea» und schliesslich wieder auf dem Album von Gemini mit neuen Lyrics.

Lyrics
The hours pass so slowly Now that he's gone One day is like another But they move on Somehow I have returned To the land of the living But badly burned I never had the chance of Keeping him here The song of sirens Was to strong in his ear And when tomorrow calls Who would pace like a prisoner Within four walls He slipped into my life As smug as a cat He was handsome and smart Walked away with my heart He took a temporary home in my flat Telling innocent lies Throwing dust in my eyеs But I led him on In a way I was the one to dеceive Always accepting the fact he would leave As though he'd only Stopped a while for a chat But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned And when the day is new The sun in the sky Who needs the confrontation Saying good-bye Who needs that kind of strain When you're born with an instinct To shun such pain He slipped into my life As smug as a cat He was handsome and smart Walked away with my heart He took a temporary home in my flat Telling innocent lies Throwing dust in my eyes But I led him on In a way I was the one to deceive Always accepting the fact he would leave As though he'd only Stopped a while for a chat But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned
