Songfacts®:

  • This sad tune is about losing someone you love. At first, the listener thinks Lucy Spraggan is singing about waiting for a loved one in the waiting room, but as the song progresses it becomes clear it's not a person, but a dog that is dying. Said Spraggan to The Sun: "I had a dog at the age of 2 and he died when I was 18. I was heartbroken."
