80's rocker Patty Smyth (Scandal) recorded this track on Jazz artist Tom Scott's CD in the mid 90's.

Cool song.

So it really was a baby being tossed? Anyway, I adore this song too. Reminds me of the swamp.....cool storytelling. I like how the strings play in and out of the song.....very dream-like. cloud9

According to Bobbie, she didn't have anything in mind for the "something" that got tossed.
